Time to upgrade my laptop – need advice please

4 zyruh 11 8/3/2025, 9:05:58 PM

Looking for a high-performance PC (non-Mac) for data-heavy workloads — suggestions?

It's time to upgrade. I'm looking for a Windows/Linux-compatible machine (no Mac) that can handle:

Large spreadsheet workloads (think multi-GB Excel/CSV files)

4K+ video editing and exports

Possibly some ML experimentation later on

I was considering a high-end gaming PC for the GPU + RAM benefits, but not sure if that’s the best tradeoff for thermals, noise, and form factor. Open to desktop or laptop, though portability is a plus.

What builds or machines would you recommend in 2025 for blazing speed + stability?

A gaming PC is probably your best bet. PC workstations for ML are extremely expensive.

Thank you!

There's really only two choices in terms of laptop: a built in discrete GPU aka a gaming laptop, or one with the ability to add an external GPU through Thunderbolt or OCuLink.

Pretty much any desktop is going to outperform a laptop, especially the GPU.

Super helpful - thank you!

Wait for Q1 2026 and Nvidia will have probably announced their laptop product. Otherwise your best shot is a beefy Ryzen laptop.

I've been looking at Ryzen - thx for the tip!

A laptop product for ML and not for graphics?

wtallis · 20m ago

They're (over)due to start shipping miniPCs aimed at being AI/ML workstations, using a SoC that's a collaboration between Mediatek and NVIDIA, with 128GB of DRAM. They have not yet announced intentions to put those chips in laptops and run Windows on them, but the writing has been on the wall all year. It would be entirely unsurprising to see NVIDIA(+Mediatek) overtake Qualcomm for ARM Windows PC sales next year. But it's too soon to start making purchase plans around that.

Thank you!

Unless it uses an entirely bespoke GPU architecture, presumably it will support both.

Thank you!
