A Reddit user is considering a Lenovo Legion 5 with an RTX 5070 8 GB, 32 GB RAM, a Ryzen AI 7 350, and a 1 TB SSD for local AI work.
They want to know whether 8 GB of VRAM is enough for day-to-day use with Ollama, LM Studio, and ComfyUI image generation, or whether they should wait for a laptop with 12 GB+ VRAM.
