If you insist on running models locally on a laptop then a Macbook with as much unified ram as you can afford is the only way to get decent amounts of vram.

But you'll save a ton of money (and time from using more capable hardware) if you treat the laptop as a terminal and either buy a desktop or use cloud hardware to run the models.

Cloud hardware like? (Is Google Colab the best option, or even one of the best? Is Paperspace Gradient any good? Others?)
