Earlier quoted context omitted.

Hopefully it will come down to that price point or cheaper again in the next 3-4 years?

Hopefully... If it doesn't, mere mortals like us consumers are going to be priced out of computers altogether. It'll be the end of the personal computing era and a return to big iron mainframes.

On the highest end maybe. But people have had some sucess DIYing some semi-modern lithography semiconductor production.

none of them are Nvidia GPU FAST

But more memory is available so a larger model can be loaded. It depends on the use case which is better. Any chat or voice model will have better UX with nvidia but document or code generation will be better with apple.

it's not a binary thing. At some point Apple becomes too slow with very large models. If you can just run a model at 1 token per second and it takes 30 mins to process a long context, it's useless

I find it hard to believe any enterprise willing to drop over $40k on a workstation PC would choose `Pop!_OS 24.04 LTS with the COSMIC Desktop Environment` over Ubuntu.

Why? It is built from Ubuntu[1]. I am a very happy full-time daily user. Anecdotally it is more stable and productive than Windows ever was for me, and plenty of enterprises use windows… [1] https://system76.com/support/difference-between-pop-ubuntu

When did Windows come into the picture? I was just talking about Ubuntu.
