I am looking to replace my old PC, and wondering what other people use.

Do you use your own hardware? If so, what do you have? What do you think gives you the most bang for your buck at the moment?

Do you use the cloud instead? If so, why? Which service(s) do you use?

Thank you!

I would suggest just getting a laptop and nice external interface (keyboard/mouse if you prefer, nice monitor) + remote server. I bought a desktop + gpu setup back when I started my masters, but I use it shockingly little for work. The type of work that a single gpu + local machine incetivize are usually against good scientific and experimental practice. You dont really want that running jobs during the day.

As for specific cloud reccomendations, I have none. I just use what is available at my institution.

TFW working on models for small embedded systems :( Honestly though I'd love to have a cluster to remote to just to train even more at once, but can't for privacy reasons
