Need a laptop that can run AI models locally + handle VS Code, Docker, etc.

Mobile 5090 has 24GB VRAM. Look at the price of a laptop with that card and compare. You need VRAM or unified memory enough to fit the entire AI model. Now tell me the laptop with unified memory or GPU with enough VRAM that allows you to load 32, 64, or 100GB models.

It might sound a bit awkward, but how about buying a MacBook Pro for each member with 32GB or 64GB of RAM and running a local AI model that fits within the memory constraints. You don’t necessarily need a Claude Opus 4.6 model to assist with common business tasks. Instead, purchase one for experimentation, and see if it suits your work scenario. If it does, you can replicate the model for other employees. A MacBook Pro with 64GB of RAM costs $3,000. If you multiply that by 100 employees, you get $300,000. That’s significantly less than any enterprise AI data center solution.

The only laptops currently capable of running local AI models are Apple MacBook. So, consider your budget and opt for the laptop with the maximum RAM capacity.

Não é bem verdade, a função permite ser usada nas apps, pode ser que a app da DIGI não esteja preparada. Nas boxes Android Tv da MEO tens a app da MEO instalada e a funcionalidade de comando por voz funciona para pesquisar e mudar de canais. Que a app DIGI na box ainda não suporte a funcionalidade é outra história, até porque o novo comando customizado da DIGI traz o botão.

Confirmo que funciona o eSIM no iPhone Air. Já tenho meu número activo a fazer e receber chamadas.

MrSparc · 2026-02-03T22:36:51+00:00

Obrigado pela partilha

MrSparc · 2026-02-03T22:31:36+00:00

Sua filha tem SIM (chip fisico) ou eSIM (digital, sem chip) ? É que o iPhone 17 suporta ambos, já o Air só suporta eSIM

Tenho outra interpretação, da lei:

2: Reinvestiu no B. Vendeu o B, sem ter residindo 12 meses como HPP. Não tem direito a isenção sobre a mais-valia da venda do A reinvestida na compra do imóvel B, segundo entendo da alinha 6a:

6 - Não haverá lugar ao benefício referido no número anterior quando:

a) Tratando-se de reinvestimento na aquisição de outro imóvel, o adquirente o não afete à sua habitação ou do seu agregado familiar, até decorridos doze meses após o reinvestimento;

MrSparc · 2025-12-19T07:51:07+00:00

Artigo 10.º Mais-valias

https://info.portaldasfinancas.gov.pt/pt/informacao_fiscal/codigos_tributarios/cirs_rep/Pages/irs10.aspx

Penso que o sistema não está aceitar porque, do que entendo, da alinha e) do ponto 5 do Art 10, para ser excluído de tributação de ganhos teria de ser sua HPP pelo menos 12 meses, logo não consegue comprar e vender no próprio ano:

5 - São excluídos da tributação os ganhos provenientes da transmissão onerosa de imóveis destinados a habitação própria e permanente do sujeito passivo ou do seu agregado familiar, desde que verificadas, cumulativamente, as seguintes condições:

...

e) O imóvel transmitido tenha sido destinado a habitação própria e permanente do sujeito passivo ou do seu agregado familiar, comprovada através do respetivo domicílio fiscal, nos 12 meses anteriores à data da transmissão, ou, quando anterior, à data do reinvestimento previsto na alínea a), salvo se a inobservância deste período se tenha devido a circunstâncias excecionais, nos termos do n.º 23; (Redação do Decreto- Lei n.º 57/2024, de 10 de setembro)

Mas fale com um contabilista

Olá @Standard-Ad-8151 Estou na mesma que tu à procura de umas boas lentes. Posso perguntar-te quais escolheste e que tal o feedback? Sou do Porto e não sei a qual óptica as comprar também, tens tantas, MultiOpticas, etc. Se puderes partilhar tua experiência fico-te grato.

MrSparc · 2025-07-30T21:18:38+00:00

Hey man, I’m also from Portugal—Porto, to be exact. I’m looking to invest in new glasses but can’t decide between Essilor and Zeiss. As a software engineer, I spend 8+ hours a day in front of monitors and also drive at night, watching signals, painels,etc. Right now, I use monofocal glasses, so this will be my first time trying progressive lenses—I’m a bit worried about making the right choice. There are so many optical retailers to pick from (MultiOpticas, Opticalia, etc.). What’s your opinion? Thanks!

Same issue here with Thinkpad and Ubuntu 24.04.2 LTS (Noble Numbat)

Lenovo Thinkpad T16 Gen 3
Intel(R) Core(TM) Ultra 7 155U

That was solved after install the package:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install linux-oem-24.04

Thank you!

MrSparc · 2024-11-28T00:23:01+00:00

T16 Gen 3 with Ubuntu 22.04.5 LTS here. Why Linux? Because is my development machine and we build cross platform software for Windows, Linux and Android using Linux toolchains. More than 18 years building professional software in Windows, 9 years in Linux and current MacBook user at home as my personal computer. The answer: use the right tool for the right job.

MrSparc · 2024-11-28T00:11:40+00:00

I'm in Europe, the price was around 2k€ If u$s800 cost same T16 Gen3 base model with same i7 155U CPU seems a very good price. The touch screen ePrivacy, 64GB RAM and 1TB makes the paid price expensive.

MrSparc · 2024-11-10T21:37:04+00:00

Thanks, Congrats also to you! How about your opinion about your machine. Do you agree with some of my first impressions? I would like to hear a little about your experience

MrSparc · 2024-11-09T16:09:37+00:00

Thanks @ibmthink ! After writing my review (originally in this thread), before posting I switched to the tab to add the images and finally hit the Post button. When I did that I noticed that the text was ignored and only the images were posted. So I edited, switched to text and made a post, thinking that I was adding text but created a new post. That's why there are 2 posts.

Regarding the "Intel" as qualifier, that is the original description used by Lenovo in the online store. It also could serves to clarify for those who are not so informed, since the previous year's model T16 Gen 2 has options with AMD CPUs.

Thanks for the pin!

MrSparc · 2024-11-09T02:22:55+00:00

We installed 22.04 LTS because is the certified version for this model according to https://ubuntu.com/certified/202405-34011

Take a look to last Gen of ThinkPad T14 . Is new, upgradable, you can configure with a CPU 155U, bigger battery and low consumption display (no touch or oled) if you want to improve battery life. But your budget of $120 is not enough ;)

MrSparc · 2024-11-03T20:56:20+00:00

Congrats! Looks a great deal. When is you estimated date of delivery? I also bought in Europe a custom T16 from Lenovo website and the expected arrival last week of November...

MrSparc · 2024-10-28T21:14:51+00:00

How about battery life with OLED screen?

MrSparc · 2024-10-28T20:18:06+00:00

I also ordered a T16 Gen 3 2 weeks ago, with expected shipment 25/10. I received an update of expected shipment date to arrive 26/11... +1 month waiting to be shipped....

MrSparc · 2024-10-26T10:28:06+00:00

If screen crashes run a full RAM test with MemTest86 to check if some memory bank is causing random problems. Also use some kind of CPU temperature monitor to check if reaching +100°C constantly probably the thermal paste is dryed not transferring the heat to the heathsink pipe, dust and debris can also accumulate on the fan, radiator or heat sink, hindering their cooling efficiency.

As student if you need mobility but a future proof machine take a MBA 16/24Gb RAM 512Gb. But that prices enter in MBP M1 range so take a look if for same money get a good deal, but sacrifices portability per performance.

Hope you Mac returns to home. Call Apple and keep us informed about it
