"2.5 year old laptop" is potentially the most useless way of describing a 64GB M2, as it could be confused with virtually any other configuration of laptop.

The thing I find most notable here is that this is the same laptop I've used to run every open weights model since the original LLaMA.

The models have got so much better without me needing to upgrade my hardware.

That's great! Why can't we say that instead?

No need to overly quantize our headlines.

"64GB M2 makes Space Invaders-- can be bought for under $xxxx"
