Laptop?

OK, I've made that mistake before. I understand modern laptops are powerful, but nobody wanting to do serious AI/ML work should be using a laptop for anything other than SSH or similar low-performance access into a proper system.

Years ago I fried two laptops just doing finite element analysis work running 18+ hours per day. It was one of those "I'm giving you all she's got, Captain!" workloads. They fried, even with powerful fans cooling them. I should have known better. Such workloads belong on purpose built systems.
