I'd get a MacBook Air and learn on colab or Kaggle kernel.
With the money left over from the price difference between air and maxed-out 15" MBP, you can buy extra hours of GPU online, or just get a cheap box to put in your closet.
- vojta_letal 7y agoYou can get a cheap gaming laptop with 1070GTX for the price of Air and have Ubuntu on it. Moreover price of cloud minutes with GPU quickly stacks up.
- stuntkite 7y agoYeah. Second this. Apple is useless for machine learning. Get anything that can legit run CUDA and has Linux on it.
- coralreef 7y agoYou can use external GPUs
- vojta_letal 7y agoWich gets like crazy expensive.
- coralreef 7y agoAn enclosure + GPU?
- codingslave 7y agoGoogle colab is really slow and unreliable.
- ConfusedDog 7y agoI have considered Air. Only thing I don’t like about it is dual-core. I know ML use GPU, but come on... dual core...
