PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Nvidia has crammed 1 PFLOP of compute and 128GB of unified memory into laptops and a mini PC, so running large models locally no longer depends on the cloud. Asus's ProArt lineup targets creators and always-on AI agent scenarios, but pricing in the $3,000 range shows that local AI compute is still a high-end business, and broad adoption will have to wait for costs to come down.
