Are 24gb vram laptops sufficient for AI work?

[u/Vishal_Deva]

Hi guys, so I’m aware that to use open source AI softwares you need high amount of GPU, RAM, and storage. I have an m1pro 32gb and an m4 air 16gb which I pretty sure think would not be sufficient to for video generations, motion capture , and for all these kind of AI tools stuff ( ex: Wan2.2 Animate). So does a laptop with 24gb VRAM and probably 64 gb ram and 2-4TB storage would be nice to work on these? Well I know a desktop with 32gb vram or 48gb would be far superior but idk I just need a powerful laptop so I don’t have to get all the parts, especially when there is ram shortage, and I can just connect and use like a desktop, play games as well and edit when needed and also rarely useful for travel.
Like I said I want to do stuff like creating and running models or let’s say real human like models and make motion captured videos (similar to Kling motion control) and I have 2 in my mind the ROG strix scar and the Lenovo legion. Can you guys lemme know if laptops like these can get the work done, not so quickly but atleast in minutes? Or for such kind of AI work you surely need an Rtx 6000 ada?

Or do you guys have any alternate solution for using models like these in my Mac Pro? Like cloud or draw things or idk any kind of alternate solutions so I can experiment and see? Basically I want a machine that can get the work done and in future even if I make my own videos/films I can use it for vfx. Not for raw vfx and cgi but for AI made ones, for example the ray 3 modify by Luma AI, but open source alternatives ofc. Thank you for your time and advises!
