If you go to YouTube and look up "Best gaming laptops" many of the videos has recommendations for "work" and they say how it's important for it to not "look like a gaming laptop".

I'm not watching that video so you'll have to make your point with text instead.
Remember when everyone had windows and neon lights in their desktop computers? Gaming laptops are in the same phase. A couple years from now they will revert back to minimalist design with maybe a small LED or glow but that's it.

My PC build from last year is ALL FUCKING WINDOW and UNICORN VOMIT RGB EVERYTHING and I fucking love it!

The plasma ball is a nice touch, I think mine is half that size. I don't actually keep my main rig in full rainbow mode all the time (other than the RAM), the fans have a fun mode where it's like they're a circular progress bar filling up. The secondary rig in the living room (both desktops are actually in the living room, they're for fun, my laptop is in the music room, where I work) is all rainbow all the time though.If I go full unicorn I get this...

Yeah, mine usually a slow pulsing deep red. It's a bit like the deck of a sith ship I guess!The plasma ball is a nice touch, I think mine is half that size.

I also have one extremely similar to that, but it's shaped like a dolphin instead, got it at a yard sale a couple years ago, same shade of blue and all.Fast lights get on my nerves and make me anxious. I have a BlissLights projector that makes a slow moving nebula in a starfield I like. I have it in my room, but it would also look cool on a wall behind the computer. I also have blue Kool cigarette plasma light. It was given to me by a rep when I was in the right place at the right time. I removed the stickers, and it looks like a book with plasma inside. I haven't turned that on in ages.
edit:
A pic I found online of the plasma light. Still has the stickers...

Exactly, shit I am starting to think I shouldn’t even use gps when I need to drive somewhere for work. Companies have become extremely cheap regarding mobile devices.Employees should only be using company provided equipment for their computer work, unless you want to open your infrastructure to unsecured devices.
And as an employee, I'm not going out of my way to buy a laptop to do my job. My employer can provide the equipment I need.
It doesn't look like the topic has anything to do with using a gaming laptop at work, or whether or not they look "professional"?

You mean having his own hard hat and kneepads doesn't make him a professional? 😮What would op know about being professional?
I only keep work email on my personal phone for convenience, and I have enough trips a year where I kind of need it. The sandbox modes that separate personal and work seem better than they used to be. And I definitely don't follow my email in off hours.Exactly, shit I am starting to think I shouldn’t even use gps when I need to drive somewhere for work.

I have also opted out of work email on my personal equipment.
