It heavily depends on your workflow and how many (electron) programs you need to run simultaneously. I found that if I’m mindful of closing things I’m not actually using, and let macOS do its swap magic, the Neo will just work.
replyI’m also the kind of person who close tabs and I like to work on one task at a time.
Can that run qwen? Also can you explain what you meant by the downside ?
replyIf I was going to run LLMs locally I would definitely go for a pro.
replyI meant the only downside of not using a pro for my use-case is that I don't have a HDMI port on device with high refresh rate. I have a decent dock that can give me 4k/60hz HDMI but not 120hz refresh for macs (it works on windows). It's a minor thing but having 120hz is nice when I'm docked at home.
