What exactly is the problem here? What's wrong with using a gaming laptop for work?
nothing (besides a waste) unless it means you are using your work laptop to game.
Why is this a bad thing? Why would you have separate computers, when you can have one good one?
Security issues. It's standard security policy for most companies to separate private and work.
So have a drive for work and one for play. Bill the laptop to work but spec it for what you want at home.
And why can't she know how to set that up if she chooses? Because she's a girl? You people are gross. If you want to criticize her for something, let it be for representing Trump in the first place.
No, she can't know it because she is a lawyer that represents Trump. Why did you though we have a problem with her gender?
She's clearly too young to have her own practice. Whatever firm she works for placed her on his case. Her intelligence cannot be defined by the client she represents. She's smart enough to pass the bar. I'd wager she's also smart enough not to hand her personal laptop to some neckbeard to set up for her. It's highly questionable at this point whether Trump can even get a firm big enough to have in house IT to work for him.
Even if she works for a firm, which is likely as she looks a bit young to own her own practice, they did not provide that laptop. That is clearly hers. And unless they are a fairly large law firm, they do not have a dedicated IT guy, let alone department. I'd bet Trump would be hard pressed to get a large firm to work for him, given his reputation.
This can slow a hacker down, but still a bad bad bad security practice.
You can download a copy of the encrypted partition and attempt to crack it locally.
Which depending on how deep your cascade encryption goes can require a huge amount of computation. If you're a small business owner running a restaurant or a student, that's plenty of security. If you're the lawyer for a former POTUS in a history-defining trial that might decide the future of the entire planet, I hope to God you're not relying on that encryption.
Then again it might be the same dirt that foreign intelligence already has on Trump, so maybe it doesn't matter either way.
