Apart from using a Mac, what can you use for inference with reasonable performance? Is a Mac the only realistic option at the moment?

This. Especially if you just want to try a bunch of different things out. Renting is insanely cheap -- to the point where I don't understand how the renters are making their money back unless they stole the hardware and power.

It can really help you figure a ton of things out before you blow the cash on your own hardware.
