Deep Learning Laptops We’ve Reviewed
As an amateur professional, there are certain key components to focus on while purchasing a laptop for performing ‘deep learning’ operations such as RAM, CPU, storage and operating system. Laptops with higher RAM would ensure faster processing while those with GPU provide an additional advantage to speed up the training process and help reduce time from model training. Another essential component for deep learning laptops is ‘graphics card’, used to render higher dimensional images. Here is a detailed list of top laptops for deep learning— TensorBook Lambda Labs recognises ‘Tensorbook’ as the “Deep Learning Laptop”. Tensorbook is equipped with GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q 16GB GPU, VRAM-16 GB GDDR6 and is backed by Intel Core i7-11800H along with RAM of 64 GB 3200 MHz DDR4 and storage of 2 TB NVMe PCIe 4.0.
