The RTX GPU laptops run very hot. Even though they are pound for pound better, it’s just runs too hot for local llm usage for me at least. Prefer Macs for this. A lot of AMD cards also run cooler. I wonder if undervting would help with smaller models and heat.

I mean the GB10 is pretty efficient for the power it has, but imho is nowhere near the power efficiency of Apple Silicon (it was never intended to be a chip used for mobile devices). I guess this is kind of the movement Apple did with the A12Z and the Mini but... the other way around?

I think its gonna be another failure as we are used to see with the PC market these days.
