Local AI notes

Used-market favorite: 32GB unified memory often cheaper than new high-RAM M4 configs. Excellent value for local LLMs if you find a clean unit.

Unified memory helps large models load without a separate VRAM ceiling. NVIDIA usually wins tokens/sec and CUDA tooling. See Mac vs GPU for local AI.
