How to do data processing and model training on my own PC or laptop rather than AWS? Please help.

This is a broad question that doesn't really lend itself to a simple, 2-3 sentence answer, but I'll try anyways.

You only need AWS if you're training a large neural network, which takes an unreasonable amount of time to train on your laptop. The solution is to simply make a very small neural network. I've recently experimented with tiny 2-3 layer neural networks and can now train a model with good results in just 20-30 minutes on my laptop. The other benefit of very small neural networks is significant speed-up when you need to make predictions real-time during deployment. So short answer is make a small model.
