Light CUDA laptop

Accelerated Computing CUDA CUDA Programming and Performance
1

Hello,

I have to travel a lot due to my job, and I am looking for a light laptop (1.5kg or less) where I can run CUDA codes.
I do not need a powerful GPU, just to run small examples to check that my codes work before running them in an independent cluster.

It is difficult to find a laptop that satisfies both constraints.
The following one seems to fit my needs but I am not sure if the GPU can be used to run CUDA codes:

  • MSI Prestige 14 Laptop A10RBS i7-10710U 16GB 512GB SSD GF-MX 350 W10

For these reasons, I would like to ask the community for additional suggestions?

Best regards

If “MX 350” refers to a GeForce MX350: This is an entry-level mobile GPU based on the Pascal architecture with compute capability 6.1 and as such is supported by currently shipping versions of CUDA.

(ok, its 1.6kg)

There are a whole bunch here, but you’ll have to check the weight:

Thank you very much for your comments, they are very helpful.
Yes, the constraint <1.5kg can be relaxed to 1.6kg!!

I think that I made my decision with the same MSI model but better GPU:
MSI Prestige 14 Intel Core i7-1185G7 RAM 16GB, SSD 512GB and GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Max-Q (1.3kg)
