I had something similar in my mind. Snapdragon processor does’t have that great app support yet, so I am wary of buying it (and probably they’ll be selling around 500-600$ next year)

I am thinking of either Acer swift x(2021) or buying a used elitebook/thinkpad with a decent cpu and ram to run smaller models with llama.cpp on it and waiting for something like steam deck in my country for games.

GPUs (nvidia) that I need are so overpriced and I have so little time lately to mess around it will probably be cheaper to rent on linode or something.
