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.

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.

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 isn’t necessary for many applications, but it’s far from useless!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word “Linux” in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
