Hello ,
I'm first college student who just realized I have to do Machine Learning as a minor(being the only interesting choice) . Knowing I would have to spent a lot of money on a build or a laptop setup I was wondering if you could help with my choice. It goes without saying that student life means I don't have huge budget.
What would you suggest me doing.
1) Buying a gaming laptop that would be inconvenient to carry around.
2) Building a desktop PC which will be impossible to carry around.
3) Building a laptop setup with an external GPU
P.S. For ML is it better to buy components oriented towards the workingstation space(old Quadros and Xeons) or should I stick with the consumer parts.
