So a new car, or an AI rig. That's a bitter pill to swallow. Most of this is the cost of the Nvidia card, and the RAM.

I've noticed that some companies have flat out dropped the high memory configurations from their lineup that were offered just months ago at inflated prices. OnePlayerX had a 128GB Strix Halo tablet, RedMagic had a 24GB Android phone - both have been removed from their sites. It's a similar situation for the new Thinkpad lineup.

The honor 400 used to be sold for 300 dollars with 12 gb of ram. Now the replacement the honor 600 comes with 8 GB at twice the price.

SSD too. The priced have tripled... It would be great if China had more lithography machine....

Taiwan would disagree

New car or a Thelio. Tough decision.

I bought a spark instead of a motorcycle so it’s somewhat relative and it’s also somewhat relative.

There was a time when I sold my computer and bought a motorcycle.

Can honestly say that was one of the best trades I’ve ever done. I didn’t buy another computer for 3 more years.

All memory. SSDs are expensive, microSD is expensive, even spinning rust has inflated.

Is it more powerful than Apple silicon, or why would anyone buy this? Just for Linux? Oh, it's System76, that's why. Open hardware. Makes sense. Edit: Also Nvidia

The prefill rates are way faster on these cards compared to apple silicon, which affects TTFT and therefore usability for a lot of coding tasks, unless you fire and forget most of the time.

Anyone know why they chose a consumer grade CPU on this? I’m a little surprised to see a 9950X as the top option. There’s not enough PCIe lanes available to run everything without bifurcation. I imagine the GPUs probably aren’t too bothered generally… but the NVMe drives are likely to slow down as a result. A Threadripper ain’t cheap, but if you’re spending $45k on a workstation it seems like a weird place to skimp.…

You need far more absurdly expensive RAM (RDIMM/ECC?) for a threadripper. Like 4x more expensive.
