  • Power efficiency

    llms

    Pick one. To run LLMs with reasonable speed you need a power hungry discrete GPU. On some laptops the GPU can shut down but then chances are the rest of the system is power hungry. You may consider getting a low/mid end laptop for light games and a desktop with Nvidia GPU for LLMs. If you are under 1000 USD, newer Macs or Macs with 16+ GiB RAM (you will need it) may be out of your price range.
