Lambda partners with Razer to release Lambda Tensorbook laptop for deep learning
Deep learning company Lambda has announced a partnership with Razer to release the new Lambda Tensorbook. This is a deep learning-focused laptop that can be used with Linux and Lambda’s deep learning software. The silver exterior of the Lambda Tensorbook looks sleek, but a closer look reveals a very similar resemblance to Razer’s own Razer Blade 15, with the Lambda replacing the Razer logo and the port color changing from green to purple.
Combined with Lambda GPU Cloud, the Lambda Tensorbook laptop provides engineers with all the software tools and computing power they need to create, train, and test deep learning models locally. According to Stephen Balaban, co-founder, and CEO of Lambda, most ML engineers don’t have a dedicated laptop, forcing them to use shared resources on a remote machine slows down development, and when you can’t SSH to a remote server, without any local data or code, it’s hard to even demo the model, which the Razer x Lambda Tensorbook solves this puzzle.
In terms of hardware, the Lambda Tensorbook is very close to the gamebook, including an Intel Core i7-11800H processor, 64GB of dual-channel DDR4-3200 memory, 2TB of NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD, a GeForce RTX 3080 Max-Q with 16GB of video memory, and a 15.6-inch, 2560×1440 resolution, 165Hz refresh rate display, Thunderbolt 4, USB 3.2, HDMI 2.1, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2, 1080P webcam, etc. The weight is also only 2.02kg.
In terms of software, the basic version of Lambda Tensorbook will come with Ubuntu 20.04 and Lambda’s software stack, including drivers, PyTorch, TensorFlow, CUDA, etc. If the premium version, there will be Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows 10 dual system boot function.
Lambda will provide a one-year warranty for the basic version of the Lambda Tensorbook at a price of $3,499; if the price is increased to $4,099, the warranty period will be extended to two years. The premium version, which extends the warranty to three years, is priced at $4,999.
