Asking for Laptop Recommendation – Offline GPU (lemmy.ml)

submitted 4 months ago by [email protected] to c/[email protected]

17 comments fedilink hide all child comments

I want to buy a laptop for a few purposes, not my main laptop:

Use it to run [email protected] stuff and Stable Diffusion.
Use it for games downloaded from repack sites. So for these two, it would need a decent GPU.
I would like to pull out the WiFi card. I have offline computers and online computers. No need for this to use the internet.
I would probably dual-boot Windows and Linux, or else have it boot Windows and use a live USB when I want Linux

Thank you all.

Money is no object.

Thinkpads -- a laptop with a rich history of Linux use -- can be bought with an integrated 4090. The ThinkPad P1 Gen 6 can be configured with an i9, plenty of flexibility for drive space and RAM, and an RTX 4090. It'll run you, even used, around $3k to $4k, which is the equivalent of a desktop replacement. But it'll be pretty doggone compatible with any Linux distro you'd like.
