    The desktop is just a branded AMD product to promote AI bullshit, released by Framework. No surprise it does not follow the Framework philosophy. I wonder when the same form factor and specs pop up from other brands.

    Makes you wonder why they went with a CPU that has to use soldered RAM. I would have expected Framework of all places to avoid that level of stupidity.

    I’ve always been impressed by their laptops, but this ‘desktop’ release has me wondering if the company is OK, it’s so gimmicky with the weird front panel and lack of useful features.
