Q4-Q5 quants of this model runs well on gaming laptops with 24GB VRAM and 64GB RAM. Can get one of those for around $3,500.

Interesting pros/cons vs the new Macbook Pros depending on your prefs.

And Linux runs better than ever on such machines.

What laptop has that much VRAM and RAM for $3500 with good/okay-ish Linux support? I was looking to upgrade my asus zephyrus g14 from 2021 and things were looking very expensive. Decided to just keep it chugging along for another year.

Then again, I was looking in the UK, maybe prices are extra inflated there.

A3B-35B is better suited for laptops with enough VRAM/RAM. This dense model however will be bandwidth limited on most cards.

The 5090RTX mobile sits at 896GB/s, as opposed to the 1.8TB/s of the 5090 desktop and most mobile chips have way smaller bandwith than that, so speeds won't be incredible across the board like with Desktop computers.

		I find A3B-35B as an ideal model for small local projects- definitely the best for me so far
