I have laptop equivalents in the same memory range and is at least $2,500 cheaper.

Unfortunately, it does not have "unified memory", a somewhat "powerful GPU", and of course no local LLM hype behind it.

Instead, I've decided to purchase a laptop with 128GB RAM with $2,500 and then another $2,160 for 10 years Claude subscription, so I can actually use my 128GB RAM at the same time as using a LLM.

That's not the same thing. Also, can you share this 128GB $2500 laptop?

Ok, but that means you’re not getting full privacy. It’s a trade off.
