I specified autocomplete, I'm not running a whole model asking it to build something and await an output. DeepSeek-coder-v2 is fine for this, I occasionally use a smaller Qwen3 (I forget exactly which at the moment... Set and forget) f

I know of enterprises in APAC now spending millions of dollars on Huawei GPUs, while they might not be as efficient, they are seen as geopolitically more stable (especially given the region). DeepSeek helped "prove" to a lot of ex

Also worth it for the speed of AI autocomplete in coding tools, the round trip to my graphics card is much faster than going out over the network.

And while the Apple Watch is objectively better value, it's destined to be e-waste after a couple of years. Mechanical watches last far, far longer.

That's what mine does as it's a gaming PC secondarily.... that being said I am running in to some limitations i.e. certain Sim Racing titles and VR Support (though both ALVR and WiVRN are excellent)

Sadly a few sim racing games don't run at all and VR is a bit hit and miss (though the Quest3 with either WiVRN or ALVR seems to work well) Still I'd rather this than deal with daily driving Windows! I'm amazed at how good Ga

This is a multifaceted question, because there isn't one use case, it depends on who you are. If you are somewhat nomadic and always moving systems, having a "home" you can dial back to and pick up where you left off from is
