Lambda, a company that offers hardware and software for machine learning has partnered with PC gaming company Razer on a new laptop called the Tensorbook. Aimed at AI developers, it’s basically a Razer Blade Studio Edition laptop with top tier specs and Lambda Stack AI software pre-installed.

The notebook features an Intel Core i7-11800H processor, 64GB of RAM, 2TB of storage, and an NVIDIA RTX 3080 Max-Q GPU and ships with Lambda’s software running on top of Ubuntu Linux. Prices start at $3,499.

While that’s a lot of money to spend on a laptop, not only does the Tensorbook have high-end Intel and NVIDIA hardware, but the 4.4 pound notebook also has a 15.6 inch, 2560 x 1440 pixel display with a 165 Hz refresh rate and Thunderbolt 4, HDMI 2.1 and USB 3.2 Type-A ports, a headset jack, and an SD card reader.

I couldn’t find a model with exactly these specs on Razer’s website, but you’d likely end up spending at least $3000 to get something similar, and that’s before paying for Lambda’s software stack and support.

Of course, if you don’t need to be able to run deep learning and AI software locally on your laptop, developers can also pay for Lambda’s cloud services which included virtual machines with NVIDIA or AMD GPUs capable of delivering far more performance than you’re likely to get from a laptop. But as Lambda explains, installing the software stack on a laptop provides a more reliable way to access code or demonstrate models on the go without the need to login to a remote server.

Ein Drittel der Deutschen glaubt, in Scheindemokratie zu leben

Allensbach-Umfrage zeigt: Viele Deutsche sind nicht nur unzufrieden mit der Demokratie, sie fordern auch ein anderes politisches System. Linken-Politiker gibt Corona-Politik eine Mitschuld.

Lucid adds even more powerful, even more expensive EV to its lineup

The Air Grand Touring Performance will cost $179,000 and go 446 miles on a charge.

And then there were two: the Lucid Air Grand Touring and the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance.

On Tuesday, Lucid Motors added a new version of its electric sedan to its lineup. It's called the Lucid Air Grand Touring Performance, and at the not-inconsiderable price of $179,000 it slots above the already superlative-laden $139,000 Lucid Air Grand Touring, offering a lot more power, albeit at the cost of about 13 percent of its range.

Originally founded in 2007 as Atieva—an electric vehicle technology development company—Lucid rebranded and shifted its efforts to creating and selling EVs. We got our first look at one of those in 2017, a curvy sedan with an interesting interior called the Air.

Originally Lucid had hoped to put the Air into production within a couple of years, but this was before investors went EV-mad, and progress stalled for a while until the company secured a billion-dollar investment from Saudi Arabia's sovereign wealth fund.
