It'd raise an eyebrow if it was a laptop but it's a freakin' desktop. Fuck you framework.
Seriously that's really disappointing. It really seems like investors decides that they needed to "diversify" their offering and they need something with AI now ... Framework was on a good path imo but of course a repairable laptop only goes so far since people can repair it and don't need to replace it every 2 years (or maybe just replace the motherboard) so if you want to grow you need to make more products ...
Honestly this is exactly the product I was waiting for minisforum to make. I think this is actually a pretty solid move.
Same, I was ready to just buy the first chinese mini pc that had the 128G strix halo processor. This is way better as it will have actual support and likely be better made.
