For folks looking for a cheap computer: get the Mac Mini M4.

If you don't have $499, get a discounted Ryzen 7000 mini PC for no more than $299.

If you have around $999, upgrade your Mac Mini M3, get a MacBook Air or just go for a Lenovo LOQ 17 with an RTX if you want to game.

Here is a question for #LisaSu:

What's stopping AMD from producing and selling their own AMD Laptops, much like Apple (MacBook) and Microsoft (Surface) do since more than a decade?

Gonna stir up the pot with this one: NVIDIA doesn't care.

My guess? They're priorizing their #AI chips, end of story. They make their "halo" product, then put scraps on everything else to barely acceptable prices and performance.

Don't like it? Buy a #PlayStation5 or a #SteamDeck.

Tell me a good reason to buy an $1,500 Ryzen AI MAX+ 395.

I'll put these sites as my absolute answer:

«32GB of RAM is enough»

I'll take a 64GB RAM computer anyday of the week.

It's difficult to run a 4GB+16GB LLM at the same time you're running Docker, Spotify, JetBrains, Steam, WhatsApp, MS Teams, Discord, Slack, Mail, MS Office, and Chrome with 40 tabs.

I tend to believe there are two people who buy RTX:

1. Those who buy because they are great regardless of price.
2. Those who buy to punish AMD.

Both people are correct.

The Toy Story Gaming PC... #gamingpc #computerhardware

Looking at the concept of using a second cheap #GPU (like a 1030) to run a #VirtualReality compositor, and nothing else, to free up the main GPU to just run the #VR application / #VideoGame itself. The idea seems sound, as it's just offloading a heavy process, but I wonder about the latency issues of sending the frames back to another GPU...

Has anyone tried this? What do y'all think?
