For Immich, the cheapest option will either be a NAS or a used laptop depending on the amount of data you need, I wouldn't buy a mac for that.
- Mashimo 4mo agoMaybe he wants really fast or large AI models inside immich? (I just run the defaults on my CPU, works for me)
- realusername 4mo agoI'm not sure why you would need large AI models for Immich, the face detection is pretty cheap and will run on 10 year old hardware without a blip. I think the decision comes primarily on how much data you would like to store for Immich, if you want to go cheaply, a 100 bucks used laptop will do the job, if you have too much data, a NAS will be more suitable (and you are certainly not going to get a mac where you can plug multiple internal hard drives for the price of a NAS)
- Mashimo 4mo agoNot for faces, but the CLIP model for the context search https://docs.immich.app/features/searching/ https://docs.immich.app/features/searching/ That needs to be in (v)ram for searches.
- realusername 4mo agoThat can be yeah but personally I wouldn't pay 3 times the amount you would pay normally just for that feature in particular.
- Mashimo 4mo agoYeah, me neither. Fast enough for me on CPU.
