[12GB VRAM is good, bc]

the RTX 5070 12GB contains the same 4,608 CUDA cores and 128-bit memory bus as its 8 GB counterpart.

12 GB VRAM is good, because youtube.com/watch?v=ric7yb1VaoA ("Gaming Laptops are in Trouble - VRAM Testing w/ ‪@Hardwareunboxed‬").

By contrast, MSI sells its new RTX 5070 12GB SKU in the Eurozone for €3,399, €100 more than the more powerful RTX 5070 Ti, though.

A (used) RTX 4070 12GB VRAM in a desktop PC will be much cheaper, upgradable, (PC will be much easier) repairable and quieter.

So I'd, get a desktop PC for gaming and a MacBook Air for everything else.
