Hm I saw many people doing ML on macbook and they say it's doable...

Are you talking about like this? https://scikit-learn.org/stable/install.html#installing-on-apple-silicon-m1-hardware

I know pytorch is not available for apple silicon at the moment and it's ok to me because if I'm not wrong pytorch is more about DL and I will do it from Colab or dedicated desktop.

It would be great if you can show me a example about what kind of other models do not support mac, then I will check and see it's a deal breaker for me.

Hello, thanks for the reply.

May I ask which area are you in or what kind of data is it, roughly?

Hey, thanks for the reply.

I know using macbook for DL is kind of unusual, so for DL I will use Google Colab or buy desktop. So for DL I will use my laptop for feature calculation, and the batch size will not be a problem to me.
