Gemma 4 runs fine on my laptop, but putting it on my NAS is what changed how I use it
Ever since I used my aged GTX 1080 to build a local AI hosting workstation last year, I’ve benchmarked LLM inference tasks across all sorts of hardware, ranging from gaming systems to tiny single-board computers and outdated mobile phones.
