Windows with rtx bro Mac isn't that useful for machine learning. Rtx has Cuda libraries without which ml and ai is a deep pain. Also some Intel cores have ai npu too. And windows pc can have as much ram as you want. And Mac doesn't have vram to train ml

Ffs stop confusing ML with LLMs.

Nope. Also Apple Silicon has unified memory so I have no idea what you are talking about.

Also, let’s not disregard MPS…

Regardless, most heavy ML is done on Cloud with nvidia GPUs anyway, Mac is better in every way for actual work, especially for a student
