The Framework 12 better have a very competitive price or else it probably won't sell that good, if they are aiming for that target group.

A bit sad they didn't announce more GPU's for the Framework 16, but I'll just have to be patient.

Excited to order the new Framework 13 :D

I haven't watched it yet but desktop case was one of the things I wanted

Not 100% happy about diluting the case selection (and therefore lowering the part inter-compatibility), but the desktop looks damn nice.

I want that case

Pretty disappointing. The 12 might be interesting, not enough details yet.

No OLED yet is lame

But.... A desktop that's less repairable than a regular desktop???? Why lol?

Half of the time they spent talking about the Framework Desktop was about AI, so that is probably why.

Is that something people have been asking for? Wouldn't a full blown desktop with more powerful GPU be preferred for AI?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

They mentioned something to the effect of that chip being preferable for AI because of how its 128 GB of memory is so tightly integrated directly into the processor.

We got the 2-in-1 and sort of a game console

EDIT: And you could argue that the colored expansion cards are new

  • Framework 13 and 16 AMD upgrades
  • Framework desktop - up to 128GB capable of running 70b lamma3.3
  • Framework laptop 12 announced - a touchscreen convertible laptop

Was there an AMD upgrade for the framework 16? I thought not?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

nope, your right, I was mistaken

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago (2 children)

New products:

  • AMD Ryzen 300 13" motherboards
  • Translucent bezels (just 13"?) and expansion cards
  • ITX desktop
  • 12" 2-in-1 convertible

Not too exciting for me, personally.

I can't recall anyone ever asking FW for a desktop PC. It's like the one modern electronics product that's already modular. And it looks like they're selling them with mobile processors only also, which, why?

As for the convertible, there's no AMD option?

Nor did I see any details regarding pricing, and their website is 404'd to hell.

Yea, I don't see the point of the desktop, but it sounds more like they are pushing it towards AI servers for the small players.

There is also the new one key module for hopefully new community designs on input modules for the framework laptop 16.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 months ago

And a keyboard with a Framework logo instead of a Windows logo! While the Framework 16 had an option for a "Super" key, that is entirely new for Framework 13
