I like OSS as well, but (correct me if I am wrong) are AMD GPU's way inferior for ML/Deep learning than that of NVidia? I am moving away from macOS to ThinkPad. I am specifically waiting for an 8th Gen CPU from Intel with NVidia discrete GPU for small scale ML and light gaming.

The gap is software. It appears to be getting better: AMD now supports tensorflow on their GPUs, and other frameworks are coming.

What is the size of the ML market compared to the gaming market? I get the impression that the ML market for GPU chips is growing much faster than the gaming market.

PC gamers have suffered generally because of the cryptocoin boom eating GPU supply and inflating the price.

Doesn't really apply directly to the laptop market, people probably aren't buying laptops for mining, but presumably it has some impact.
