My college is willing to grant me a 1000$ laptop (Because of a decent GPA).
I already use a MacBook.
Please suggest any laptop that I should get for Deep Learning. (They are pretty adamant that it should be a laptop since I’ll have to later return it after I graduate)
PS: 1. Yes, I’m aware that the AWS treat should be good enough to get me through the course, but I wish to ask if getting a laptop will be any good for later.
2. My mentor has agreed to lend me his old laptop with a GT-720M, 8 gig RAM, i7-4700K if that’d be any good.
I would say GT-720M is a bit outdated and has only 2GB of memory. Somewhere on the forum @jeremy recommended to have at list 8GB. Video cards are pretty thick so laptops with good CUDA video cards looks like you are going to kill somebody with it. Take a look at laptops with GTX 1080 or GTX 1080Ti and reconsider buying PC.
Thank you.
Does [this] (https://www.amazon.in/dp/B071XVSGZZ/ref=psdc_1375424031_t3_B01N7O6IAL) look good? Sadly, it has a 4GB Vram.
Problem is, I’m not buying a PC, I’m being offered a laptop by my college.
Buying a rig is a little difficult for me right now because of financial constraints.
I bought a Lenovo Legion Y520. It has 16 GB RAM, intel core i7 2.8GHz and Nvidia 1050Ti GPU with 4GB RAM. It costed me about $1700. I used it to train my convolution networks for a Udacity course and it performed well. Before buying the laptop I was burning up to $300 / month on AWS.
