GPU accelerates training time considerably. For development it's very convenient to use a Linux laptop with nVidia Optimus. I was able to train a quite complex model on laptops's nVidia (optirun process) while continue working using Intel SOC's GPU. However GPU memory is crucial it's better to choose a laptop with 4GB or more video RAM.

I've found that many models require 8GB or more; the T1080 cards are "just about" good enough
