Used for: 6–12 months
Silent, quick, and the battery lasts
Heavy enough that you plan the bag around it
Does everything asked of it and has never once been slow
Used for: 6–12 months
Handles datasets that used to mean waiting in a queue
The fans finally show up on very long runs
It has quietly become the only computer I use. Writing, analysis, plots, everything, and it moves between the desk and a rucksack without any of the ceremony the old setup needed. Ten months in the only thing I have learned to expect is that a run past the 40 minute mark will eventually bring the fans up. Nothing dramatic, but the room notices.
Used for: Less than a month
Nothing in the box connects to anything I already own
Superb machine, though budget for a hub before it even arrives!
Used for: Less than a month
Runs models locally that used to need the university cluster
The reason for all that memory was keeping a large model resident instead of queuing for the cluster, and it does exactly that, at home, in silence, on a sofa
Used for: More than a year
Not slowed down in the slightest
Bought before starting the thesis and it has taken every bad habit I have thrown at it, 40 tabs and all, without complaint
Used for: 1–3 months
No queue, no cluster, no waiting for a slot
It gets warm on the left under a long training run
Being able to iterate at midnight without booking compute time has changed how much actually gets done. It does warm up on the underside if you leave it going for hours, enough that it moves off the knees and onto a table!
Used for: 3–6 months
Battery genuinely does a full day of lectures and notes
The charger has not left the house since term started. Seven or eight hours of notes, reading and the odd bit of code and it still shows 20% when I get home, and that is four months of carrying it between two buildings and a library. The old machine needed a socket by lunch, which decided where I sat.
