A little googling and I’ve come up with that the name of the woman is Eve Astrid Andersson (now a director at Google) and this was essentially a series of photos taken at her work at the time as a joke.
As a left wing gun enthusiast I’m aware of this because it is how you get a 26" barrel on an AR, no matter which state you’re in, and trust me, I’m from about as right wing as it gets.
It’s definitely a Mac. I remember that case from middle school. Apple computers were huge in education in the 80s/90s. It was their staple cash cow back then before Jobs came back and they started chasing Starbucks-guzzling hipsters.
How did this picture happen
This is so absurd, fancy outfit, hair, gun, computer
Art.

And that is, as far as one can tell from an image, an actual gun as I doubt an airsoft manufacturer would bother with the gas block or dust cover.
And no flash hider?
I mean, you can get an AR with a crowned barrel.
As a New Yorker, I am unfortunately aware of this…

Haha, same!
I thought it was Scilly from the X-Files at first lol.
Edit: Scully
Same.
That was probably the intention. X-Files was at its height of popularity around this time (assuming 1997 by the Mac model and OS 8).
This image has been floating around Lemmy for the past week or so. One of them appears to have an original timestamp/watermark from like 1998.
Is that really a Mac though? Looks like a pc running a Netscape browser and some AOL garbage.
