I second @jamesliudotcc's suggestion (ASUS ROG Flow Z13). One of the key differentiators vs other laptops is the 128GB unified RAM which runs at 8000 MT/s, which should be excellent for LLMs - I'm not aware of any laptop that can do better, in this form-factor and this level of portability.
Specs aside, this machine can also run Linux well [1], which makes it worth buying, IMO. And if it can run Linux well, then using it for development should be a breeze.

- juujian 2y agoExcept AMD still has not figured out how to deliver on LLM acceleration on Linux.
- d3Xt3r 2y agoNot sure what you mean by that, but ROCm works just fine. I'm using a patched ollama (for APU support) [1] and I can run models like llama3.1:8b and deepseek-r1:14b just fine on my Radeon 780M iGPU, on Arch (btw).
