That thing only has 4GB VRAM, which is kinda useless these days for ML. Even the most basic LLMs and text>image models need at least 6-8GB minimum. I know, there could be other lightweight applications too, but realistically speaking I don’t see anyone buying this laptop for ML/DL needs, even if it’s just a basic requirement.
It’s not a gaming laptop. It’s marketed as a productivity laptop - now all the rave is ML and DL so you need cuda.

Hmmm I’m a data scientist and regularly run/train various deep learning models for my job using a 3gb 1060.
Not saying that more than 4gb is necessary for many applications, but it’s far from useless!
What are ML and DL?
The laptop seems a bit expensive and I don’t know how repaireable and upgradeable it is, but it’s good to have some brand engaged with Linux .
ML = Machine Learning
DL = Deep Learning
Thanks 🙏
That’s a fair point, though I can’t imagine doing any of that kind of work on an ultralight, or whatever this is.
