Can you please elaborate?

Also, as for training, I get it, I can't really train deep learning models but how about optimizing machine learning models using pyCUDA?

Still under that 15 day period. I wanted to get my hands on a machine instead of constantly wondering. What should I look out for to basically validate or discredit my decision over the next week?

Say if it comes to returning it, I'd be down to buying a 32 gb laptop without gpu, but a desktop gpu that I can plug n play and use accordingly.
