Ask HN: Which laptop can run the largest LLM model?
I’d like to experiment with LLMs locally and understand their infrastructure better.
The out of stock one has 128gb of unified system ram. AMD 395 ai chip.
So easily run 70B models on that much vram; but slower, probably in that 30-40tokens/s which is very usable.
Qwen 3 30b will be in that 60 tokens/s range.
llama 4 scout will be around 20-30tokens/s
That’s the same price as an M4 Max MBP with the same ram and storage. Any idea how they compare in performance?
