Laptops for AI

Portable machines with discrete GPUs and tensor cores, for model work away from a desk.

55 products from 8 vendors, from $874 to $8,423 (median $2,235). Most common accelerators: RTX 4080, RTX 5090, RTX 4090, RTX 4070, RTX 5070.

What to compare

Mobile GPUs carry less VRAM than their desktop namesakes and run at lower power limits, so treat the number in the name as a family rather than a promise. 8GB runs quantised models up to roughly 8B parameters; 16GB is where a 13B becomes comfortable.

Who buys these

Developers who need to prototype and demo on the move, and students who cannot leave a tower running.
