I'm starting a PhD and my laptop is old and unreliable, so replacing it, with pic related if possible.
Is it appropriate to use a gaymer style one or does it just scream manchild when you're doing presentations/talking to supervisor?
After the PhD when I get a job, do jobs normally provide you with your own computer for work?
If not, is a gaymer styled laptop appropriate?
I would obviously prefer a normal looking one but they are much harder to find, especially as I mainly play hard to run games like pubg. It also seems to be a lot cheaper than buying a normal laptop and a desktop before anyone suggests that.
Sorry if this is the wrong board cryptobros, couldn't really decide between g, biz and sci.
I have 2017 Omen and it locks like ass, this 2018 is completely fine by me with those thin besels.

gayming laptops are extremely unprofessional

No on will care what your laptop looks like.
My PhD scholarship paid for my laptop (which I get to keep after), though I had to pick from a small list of laptops.

I don't care at all how it looks, just that it's "appropriate" for PhD work/jobs.
Ok thanks I was expecting this.

Thanks.

>do jobs normally provide you with your own computer for work? It depends on the job but even if they do it's likely still not your own

I have a old and reliable laptop. Refurbished thinkpad t420 with a SSD Caddy and a i5 running linux mint. Cost me like 350$, can strongly advise. Only drawback is using it summer during high heat. Otherwise best purchase ever.
