LOCAL LLM Compatibility Evaluation

This quick guide shows what types of large language models (LLMs) this laptop could support, based on its hardware specifications. It's meant to help you decide whether it's suitable for running AI models locally.

Selected Configuration:
CPU/NPU: Intel Core i7 13700HX (No NPU)RAM: 8 GBGPU: GeForce RTX 4050 Mobile 6GB
Small Models(1-3B):Examples: Phi-2, Qwen-1.8B
✔ Expected performance: "Runs Well"
2B model with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~2.5 GB memory - fits in your 6 GB VRAM
(See performance table below for details)
Medium Models(7-8B):Examples: Mistral-7B, Qwen-7B
✔ ⚠ Modest
7B model with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~5.3 GB memory - doesn't fit in 6 GB VRAM, spills to RAM (VRAM + RAM, slower)
(Partial GPU offload - expect 5-30x or more slower performance (depends on spill amount))
Expected performance: "Modest Speed" (~5-15 tok/s)
Large Models(13-30B):Examples: Llama 3 14B, Qwen1.5 14B, Dense 30B

Your system: 6 GB VRAM, ~4.5 GB available for models, 1.5 GB reserved for GPU overhead

13-15B Models (e.g., Llama 3 14B, Qwen1.5 14B)
⚠ Expected performance: "Modest Speed"
14B with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~10 GB memory - doesn't fit in 6 GB VRAM
Breakdown: 6 GB VRAM - 1.5 GB (GPU overhead) = ~4.5 GB available, but model needs ~10 GB
Q3 fallback available (~8 GB) - spills to RAM (VRAM + RAM, slower)
(Partial GPU offload - expect 5-30x or more slower performance (depends on spill amount))

Recommend 1-3B models for smooth performance, or GPU with more VRAM.
16-24B Models (e.g., Dense 20B Q4 ~15.5GB)
✖ Not Supported
20B with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~15.5 GB memory - doesn't fit
Breakdown: 6 GB VRAM - 1.5 GB (GPU overhead) = ~4.5 GB available, but model needs ~15.5 GB
20B Q3: ~12.5 GB - doesn't fit
(Insufficient memory for this model)
Recommend 1-3B models for better performance, or hardware upgrade.
24-30B Models (e.g., Dense 30B Q4)
✖ Not Supported
30B with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~21 GB memory - doesn't fit
Breakdown: 6 GB VRAM - 1.5 GB (GPU overhead) = ~4.5 GB available, but model needs ~21 GB
30B Q3: ~17.5 GB - doesn't fit
(Insufficient memory for this model)
Recommend 1-3B models for better performance, or hardware upgrade.
MoE Models (Mixture-of-Experts) (e.g., Mixtral 8x7B - total ~47B, active ~12-13B)
✖ Not Supported
Mixtral 8x7B (≈47B total, ≈12–13B active) with Q4 quantization (recommended): Requires ~23 GB memory - doesn't fit
Breakdown: 6 GB VRAM - 1.5 GB (GPU overhead) = ~4.5 GB available, but model needs ~23 GB
Mixtral 8x7B (≈47B total, ≈12–13B active) Q3: ~19.5 GB - doesn't fit
(Insufficient memory for this model)
Recommend 1-3B models for better performance, or hardware upgrade.
Extra-Large Models(65B+):Examples: LLaMA2-70B, Qwen1.5-72B
✖ Not practical on most laptops (64GB+ workstation laptops may be exceptions).

Note: Optimized (e.g., 4-bit) models may run on limited hardware. Performance depends on runtime and setup.

📌 Model Types: Dense 30B Q4 models typically require around 19–22 GB of total VRAM, so they run best on systems with ≥24 GB VRAM. MoE models like Mixtral 8x7B (≈47B total parameters, usually ≈23–26 GB in 4-bit) also need high memory because all experts must be loaded, even though only a few are active per token. They reduce compute cost per token (similar to a ~12–13B dense model), but not memory usage, so they are not practical on 14–16 GB systems.

🚀 Modern NPU (Neural Processing Unit): Modern processors like AMD Ryzen AI and Intel Core Ultra feature NPU and unified memory architecture. NPUs provide modest performance gains (0-30% faster) with better power efficiency compared to iGPU-only execution. Real-world tests show ~3-10 tok/s range on 13B models with 32GB RAM (varies by runtime, quantization, and context), comparable to iGPU but more power-efficient. Note: These figures are examples from various NPU systems; actual performance depends on your specific hardware configuration.

Understanding Performance Categories

The performance descriptions use general categories because actual speed varies greatly based on your specific hardware, model optimization, context length, and runtime software.

Performance LevelTypical RangeUser Experience
Runs Smoothly
(High-end dGPU)
50+ tok/sReal-time response. Feels instant, like ChatGPT.
Runs Well
(Mid-range dGPU)
20-50 tok/sGood interactive performance. Slight delay, but usable.
Modest Speed
(iGPU/NPU/CPU)
5-20 tok/sUsable for tasks that don't need instant responses. Noticeable typing delay.
Borderline / Slow
(Limited hardware)
2-5 tok/sVery slow. Patience required. Better for batch processing.
Not Practical<2 tok/sToo slow for regular use. May cause system hangs or instability.

💡 Tip: Your actual results may be higher or lower than these ranges. Test with your specific hardware to know for sure!

⚠️ Note: Performance categorization is based on VRAM capacity and RAM fallback status. GPU type (memory bandwidth, compute power) can also affect actual performance. Currently, we prioritize whether the model fits in VRAM or requires RAM fallback for classification. We may refine this categorization in future updates based on more detailed benchmarks.

BATTERY

HP Omen Transcend 16's Li-Po battery has a capacity of 70 Wh is under average, which may cause lack of mobility. Please note that even though the battery capacity gives you an idea about potential battery life, it is not the only indicator of unplugged run time of the laptop, but impacted also by factors such as your laptop's configuration, screen brightness and number & types of apps that you are running simultaneously.
