not for my internship and ml competitions that ive done/ will be going for :) i have had scenarios in which it would have been very useful to have a good gpu such as for training a convnext large model when i have 20 gigs of data or when loading big live financial data into ram which obv can’t be done in an 8 GB ram much less a 500 dollar laptop as you are suggesting. I know its almost always better to use cloud compute which i do like kaggle, colab or AWS sometimes but it is pricey to rent and id really love to do it offline.
bold of you to assume what a student’s workload might look if you have no background on them <3
i asked for deciding between one of the 2 just “chose something cheaper cus you don’t need it” :(
