You would want a laptop with RTX 4090 or RTX 5090. Anything under 16GB VRAM is going to be too limited for playing around with local LLMs.
Franework is nice but no Nvidia option which is a no-go for LLM.
Thinkpad P1 Gen 6 with RTX 4090 is a solid one. Older generation but Thinkpad seems like no longer slapping top GPU into its notebook.
Other laptops with 4090/5090 are too huge (Titan, Raider, Vector, Strix Scar 18,…)
I’m using Arch on the Thinkpad above.
Hope this helps
