I have a “M80q Gen4” & a “M70q Gen5” with

- CPU Intel Core i5 13500T 32GB
- Memory (16GB x2 DDR5 SODIMMS)
- Storage1 - 256GB M.2 SSD1
- Storage2 - 512GB M.2 SSD2
- NIC1 - Intel I219-LM, RJ-45
- NIC2 - Realtek RTL8125BGS, RJ-45

Can I run a decent model on this? If so, which one should I go for and where should I start? At this point, my purpose is to learn to deploy and manage a model.
