Capacity sets what fits, bandwidth sets how fast it runs, and the software stack — CUDA, ROCm, or Metal — decides whether your tools work at all. Here's how the four real options compare in 2026, with current prices and benchmarks.

A mini PC the size of a paperback can now hold a 200-billion-parameter model — the kind of workload that used to need a server rack.

                                                                  But picking one isn't about the lowest price. Three things decide whether a model runs well: memory capacity (what fits), memory bandwidth (how fast it runs), and the software ecosystem — CUDA, ROCm, or Metal — that determines whether your existing tools work at all.

                                                                  There are four real ways to run a local LLM on your desk: a discrete-GPU tower (fastest, but a VRAM wall), AMD Strix Halo mini PCs (big unified memory, cheap, Windows-native), Nvidia's GB10 boxes like the DGX Spark and Dell Pro Max (CUDA, but now $4,699 and Linux-only), and Apple's Mac mini and Mac Studio (high bandwidth, silent, no CUDA).

                                                                  This guide breaks down which fits which job — with verified specs and current prices.

I would have thought that being unable to use what the app offers would be sufficient to get a refund.

Während all die coolen Consultants mit denen ich zu tun hatte, längst auf einen BlackBerry umgestiegen sind. Von und mit Matt Johnson. (ARTE, Neu!)
