Someone is going to make bank by catering to consumers. Will the market accept nvidia back with open arms if/when the ai investments fall through?
As a Linux gamer, nvidia was already on thin ice.
Also I had past them up on recentish purchases since they only really controlled the highest end of the market which I don't have the budget for. So honestly I have no intention of welcoming them back unless there is literally no other option. You made your bed.
This is still a pain point for me. I have been looking for a laptop with an AMD GPU for years to use with Linux, but System76, Starlabs, framework, etc insist on only having Nvidia as a discreet option. Or is it that AMD does not have laptop GPUs? Could be.
Why do you need a laptop so bad?
Because I travel a lot for work. My PC is way less powerful than my current laptop precisely because I spend more time in the road.
Hmm. Even when I was doing graveyard shifts with basically six hours of just me and my laptop during the dead of the night, my desktop was still more powerful than my gaming laptop.
I have a somewhat old Gazelle 16 with an 11th Gen i7 and a 3050TI. My PC is a MinisForum miniPC, pretty good for what I need, but nowhere near as powerful as my laptop.
