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 have a mixed approach: I have a laptop with an RTX3060 (surprisingly good for small models and dev work). There are a few beefy servers I have access to through work/school which I leverage when I need more resources.

If I didn't have access to work/school servers, I would likely go with cloud or build a new desktop for myself. Most of my work has been with time series forecasting and anomaly detection so the models tend to be smaller. If you need bigger models this wouldn't work well for you.
