I had a Strix Halo laptop with 128GB which unfortunately died last week. I paid 2800 euro for it. If I buy the same machine today, the sticker price is 7899. The device was not perfect by any means, but the ability to run fairly large models is some kind of magic. | ||

>sticker price is 7899. It's not even worth it at that point. You can get a used enterprise grade SXM baseboard with 4-8 V100/A100 GPUs off eBay at a similar price. That will even get you actual HMB ram and NVlink. Along with 10x the AI performance, assuming you don't care about your electricity bill of course. | ||
