Why though? The context window is 1 millions token max so far. That is what, a few MB of text? Sounds like I should be able to run claw on a raspberry pi.

		If you’re using it with a local model then you need a lot of GPU memory to load up the model. Unified memory is great here since you can basically use almost all the RAM to load the model.

I meant cheap in the context of other Apple offerings. I think Mac Studios are a bit more expensive in comparable configurations and with laptops you also pay for the display.
