Nvidia for compatibility, and as much VRAM as you can afford. Shouldn't be hard to find a 3090 / Ti in your price range. I have had decent success with a base 3080 but the 10GB really limits the models you can run

Its more the fact that we're talking about Apple catching up at all . Android SOCs have been generationally behind Apple for a long time (and MediaTek in particular as a "budget" option), but now in the GPU space that is rev

I'm really curious as to why Apple has been unable to reproduce their leap in CPUs in the GPU space. It's not exactly surprising when Nvidia parts handily beat the M1/M2, but when both Qualcomm and Mediatek have better GPU pe

Ironically enough given its reputation, but this is what Bixby is great at - controlling the _device_ with your voice using short commands - "Open Camera", "Take photo", "Delete last photo" etc all work as expe

If you're looking for a general-purpose tablet computer I think the Surface lineup is nearly unparalleled, with some important caveats. You get a very well built machine with the best aspect ratio (3:2), Win10 tablet mode is decent _an

Surface Book has 3:2 which is really nice, quite expensive machine though (I love mine, and have been lucky not to have any of the issues that seemed to plague them in their early days)
