Description

In this episode, we put three very different beasts into the same neural arena and see who comes out smiling from our perspective - or smoking. The NVIDIA DGX Spark flexes its data-center muscles, the Mac Studio arrives with calm M-series confidence, and the modern RGB-infested PC shows up like a caffeinated overclocker ready to prove a point. We test how each handles running local LLMs, feeding them PDFs, crunching embeddings, and surviving real workloads rather than benchmark fairy tales. If you’ve ever wondered which machine actually delivers the best blend of speed, thermals, and sanity, this is the showdown you’ve been waiting for.
