Need help to buy a new computer, which coding model is the best atm?

I need to run local models eventually to start working on harness optimizations, adding local power to my subscriptions when possible

The thing is, I have no idea which model is the best for coding locally at the moment, have seen comments on Minimax 2.7, Kimi, GLM, Deepseek, Qwen, but they all differ on different benchmarks and need some guidance from experience if possible to see how much VRAM I need to actually run them locally

MBP 2019 16” - Right Fan works but Left Fan only receives bursts of Electricity?

Not sure if you can notice but the right fan every X seconds tries to start and then it simply stops immediately, only with help from a pencil I can make it move a bit on those bursts, otherwise it stays static

Theres also a very low sound like it tries to move or something recurrently every X seconds too

I can only do non intensive tasks on the laptop with just one fan, otherwise it starts the kernel process to avoid overheating

Im currently running diagnostics and all it says is “There may be an issue with the fan“, ref code PPF003 and additional PPF004

This happened after I opened the mac to change thermal paste on the chips, unsure if it’s stuck or it simply needs a new fan?
