Which model(s) are you running (e.g., Ollama, LM Studio, or others) and which open-source coding assistant/integration (for example, a VS Code plugin) you’re using?
What laptop hardware do you have (CPU, GPU/NPU, memory, whether discrete GPU or integrated, OS) and how it performs for your workflow?
What kinds of tasks you use it for (code completion, refactoring, debugging, code review) and how reliable it is (what works well / where it falls short).
I'm conducting my own investigation, which I will be happy to share as well when over.
Thanks! Andrea.

At this point, pretty much all he does is review workstations for running LLM's and other machine-learning adjacent tasks.
I'm not his target demographic, but because I'm a dev, his videos are constantly recommended to me on YouTube. He's a good presenter and his advice makes a lot of sense.
> He's a good presenter and his advice makes a lot of sense. Agree
Not that I think he forms his answers on who is sponsoring him, but I feel he couldn't do a lot of the stuff he does without sponsors. If the sponsors aren't supplying him with all that hardware then, in my opinion, he is taking a significant risk in buying all of it out of pocket and hoping that the money he makes from YT covers it (which I am sure it does, several times over). But there is no guarantee that the money he makes from YT will cover the costs, is the point I'm making.
But, then again, he does use the hardware in other videos so the it isn't like he is banking on a single video to cover the costs.
