MacOS is really hard to work with for deep learning. Try https://salamander.ai/ . $0.19/hour for a server with NVIDIA GPU, fastai v1 pre-installed with notebooks and datasets. Or try Google Cloud preemptible instances - similar cost IIRC, but a little more setup to do.

Oh, it's $0.36/hour for salamander. the equivalent on gcp (n1-16-standard with attached k80) is $0.29/hour. though as you said, Salamander is easier to get started with (just 1 click after signing up!)

ps: i'm the creator of salamander
