I assumed the 27B dense model would be preferable to a MoE model, and that it wouldn’t fit into a consumer graphics card, which leaves the Macs.

Then I assumed for cost and battery/heat reasons that a Mini would be better than a laptop.

The reason why I was curious is that I am running my stuff on a Strix Halo and I get the feeling that this class of devices ( gmktek, minisforum, lenovo, etc. ) seem to becoming a pretty good alternative
