It should not surprise the regular readers of the Techradar computer section that I am a great and big fan of the frame. It is the manufacturer of laptops that does everything well: repability, ecological designs, excellent customization options and an ethos of the company that puts employees first. I depressed lyric over the Framework laptop chromebook editionThe incredible design in 2023, and now I am getting excited again, because the frame is finally doing a desktop PC.
The frame desk, exhibited in a Blog On the manufacturer’s website, it is true that you feel slightly contradictory to the Framework Mission Declaration. After all, desktop PCs are already More customizable, repairable and update than laptops, a set of benefits frame was interested in bringing to the space of the laptop with its main product line. However, the blog publication addresses this, saying that the reason why it has finally decided to make a PC of the tower is due to the new AMD Ryzen Ai Max processors: the chips so good that the frame changed its road map a year ago to incorporate them into a desktop system to “unlock each part of their performance.”
The last of AMD are some very fleshy CPU, so it makes a lot of sense to see that this happens. With up to 16 CPU nuclei on a 5.1GHz impulse clock and integrated graphics of RADEON 8060 fuel plus a NPU to execute local workloads of AI, AMD is not playing, which can make the Marco desktop a candidate for our list of the best PCs of the work station. Framework states that the Ryzen AI Max+ 395 configuration of high specification is capable of 1440p games even in “the heaviest titles”, something that I am anxious to test.
Good things come in small packages
Besides … this is just the small desk system I’ve seen in my life. Seriously, look at it. It is adorable. It fits to be one of the best mini pc you have ever seen, frankly. The front panel is made up of 21 interchangeable color mosaics, and the frame has of open origin so that it can print 3D as well. You can choose between a black or solid glass panel, choose an RGB fan and even add an optional transport handle for those of us who are still to LAN parties.
All of that is great, and I adore how elegant and compact is this thing, but there is a more design option here that is far More important: the frame has included the ‘hot adjustable expansion cards used to customize the ports on their laptops, which means that you can choose exactly what two ports you want on its front I/O. That is ordered.
The Ryzen AI Max+ 395 configuration of high specification begins at $ 1,999 (£ 1,999 / around AU $ 3,160), which is a fairly high admission price for a desktop PC, but as I pointed out in my review of the Framework’s Chromebook review, it is getting a lot of computer for its cash and You are making a social and ecologically responsible purchase. For those who do not need that maximum yield, the Ryzen Max 385 8 -core configuration will begin at $ 1,099 (£ 1.099 / around AU $ 1,740). Framework has also confirmed that there will be new models of its 13 -inch laptop, in addition to the new 12 -inch model with 2 in 1 touch screen.
Framework describes its desktop PC as “the easiest PC you will build”, and even offers the motherboard, which is the motherboard, the CPU and the RAM, as an independent unit that begins at $ 799 (£ 799 / approximately $ 1,265), so that you can install its own custom compact PC instead if you prefer. Personally, I can’t wait to have my hands throughout the PC.
