The following are my options. My main focus will be model training (for very large models will use research lab systems). Need this to last throughout my grad school and PhD!

would appreciate some help!

None of these systems are remotely usable for model training.

Inferior to 17c/hr instances.

Buy the cheapest laptop possible and learn to use AWS, RunPod, or if seriously limited Colab/Kaggle.

And invest in an education that teaches you about Moore’s Law (and the time value of money, as you’d be better off making minimum wage to pay for credits than waiting for “GPUs” that can’t even handle PC games)

Buy any mac with 16+GB of RAM. You wont be anle to train any model on any of those. So forget it. I am having a Macbook Pro with M2 Max and 96GB of RAM. Never attempt to train any model on it because it is a waste of time trying to do so.
