    That thing only has 4GB VRAM, which is kinda useless these days for ML. Even the most basic LLMs and text>image models need at least 6-8GB minimum. I know, there could be other lightweight applications too, but realistically speaking I don't see anyone buying this laptop for ML/DL needs, even if it's just a basic requirement.

      Hmmm I'm a data scientist and regularly run/train various deep learning models for my job using a 3gb 1060.

      Not saying that more than 4gb isn't necessary for many applications, but it's far from useless!
