Tell us your budget and what you'll use it for. We'll rank GPUs and Macs by how well they run models for that workload, show you which specific models will run great, and compare cost-per-token against cloud APIs.

How we rank
We filter hardware by MSRP under your budget, then score each candidate by the best-fit model for your workload — combining fit status (native / tight / offload), decode throughput, VRAM utilization, and model quality tier. ROI uses $10/1M tokens as the cloud reference (GPT-4o / Claude Sonnet tier) with 36-month amortization and $0.15/kWh electricity. Used-market prices are flagged when applicable (e.g., RTX 3090 at ~$800).
