Hello, I work in machine learning, which means that I juggle SQL, python and frameworks all the time. I am also DevOps by necessity and I must admit it by taste. I was going to forget, I am in hidden startup mode, for another reason.
I have to deliver my innovative solutions (and they are) in the next four years, hopefully. So much for the context. This means that I cannot settle for just one computer to train the algorithms. So I turn to cluster computing and the joys that go with (TensorFlow parallel, MPI) so my CPUs necessarily Ryzen 5, SDD and HDD with good capacity between 8 to 16 GB of RAM for the nodes and a day after day I dither between GTX 1660 super and simple RTX 2060, knowing that what I save with GTX, this potentially allows me a "free" node, dilemma, dilemma
I have a PC and a Laptop. The laptop is a mid 2015 MBP but I plan to replace it with a Dell Latitude.
My PC specs are as follows:
Lenovo Desktop Tower - 740 eur
Dell P2416D Monitor - 220 eur
Razer Kraken Headphones - 80 eur
Razer Blackwidow ultimate - 100
Razer Deathadder 2013 - 70 eur
Razer Mouse Mat - 20 eur
HP LaserJet P1102 - 35 eur
XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro - 440 eur
A4Tech AS-6 speakers - 5 eur (My dad got them when I got my first PC, I was around 6yo back then, they're still working)
D-Link Router - 85 eur
Total 1990 eur. My PC got a huge speed-up when I moved the Windows SO from the HDD to SSD.
System76 Oryx Pro 15"
32GB of RAM
500GB of NVMe Drive
NVidia RTX 2060 (1920 Cuda Core) 6GB
Pop_Os! 18.04 LTS with Encrypted Drive
3 years warranty
I was hesitating between this computer and a MacBook Pro 15". But even with the $ CAD to $ USD rates, shipping cost and duties, it was $ 1000 CAD less for the same (RAM, Drive, Warranty). Furthermore, Apple is still using ATI graphic cards and since I am going to do some AI next semester, I wanted an NVidia chip.
I wish System76 opens a store in Canada!
MacBook 12.
Instead of following the never-ending rush for the latest hardware I trained myself and build my tool palette exactly the way that allow it to run on pretty much any hardware.
The thinnest and lightest (less than one kilo) MacBook is sleek. It's elegant. It makes me smile and it also makes a walk with it in my backpack a breeze. I can launch projects wherever I want.
I wanted to have a setup like that a couple of years back, then ended up with a MacBook Pro 13" (late 2016 model, without touchbar).
Good! It’s way more powerful.
But core m3 seems to satisfy all my needs. Photoshop, Illustrator, 40+ Chrome tabs, Atom, Slack, bunch of running servers and databases, all that at the same time. Yes it works.
But even if it wasn’t, it’s still a 900 grammes of aluminum that can easily be the only creative instrument you need. So I’ve chosen this path.
And the fact that it is so small/thin/light/cute I got infatuated with the design the first time I tried it at an Apple Store back in India. A fully capable machine at that size, something that can run a 'real' operating system is just fascinating! I call it a huge technological milestone.
I’m glad you get this. Some of my hacker friends just go like “reeeee it’s got a mobile processor and can’t run crysis”
Thumbs up for the thinkpad legionaires
Ryzen 7 2700x
32Gb of system memory
1tb + 256gb ssd
Rx 580 8gb
Das keyboard (cherry mx brown)
Logitech mx master 2s
Audio technica m50x
For laptops
I run a thinkpad X220 and a t470
For me. The ability to run multiple virtual machines with all sorts of OSS at the same time is critical.
Ps. By the way, have I told you that I run arch Linux?
I have HP Notebook 2019.
Intel i5 8th Gen
8GB RAM
1TB HDD.
It's slow and I am saving money to buy a new one, most probably Lenovo having SSD.
I use mainly windows today mainly cause WSL, but i still have dual boot with fedora. My specs are an Lenovo Ideapad 320 with i5, MX150,500GB SSD, 8gb RAM, not too much but enough to work and play some games. Going 16gb ram soon.
I am using lenovo G-500 , with intel pentium quad core , 4GB ram .Though its preety old ,but still serving me good with ubuntu .Good for web development projects . Thinking of upgrading it with some SSD's and more ram . Any suggestions,like to hear?
