Trivia
- GTA V laptops are made by Fruit (Apple) but have a Facade (Windows) operating system.
- Trevor Philips is the only HD Universe protagonist that does not have access to a computer in at least one of their safehouses. There is a PC in the office of the Vanilla Unicorn but is is non-interactive.
- Almost every computer has a Windows Vista wallpaper. It can also be seen in Prologue, at the start of the mission, after the player aims at the hostages, and you can see Windows Vista wallpaper, even since Windows Vista was released in 2006, and Prologue takes place in 2004.
