My favorite thing about these is that even though minipc’s with them are around $2000 now, someday they’ll be cheap and the Switch 2 is coming out and will probably be a ~10 year platform. Someday it’ll be a solid choice as a cheap entry into PC gaming

These things are awesome.
My dream is:
-
Selling one embedded onto an ITX board.
-
An SKU with a single (8 core (ideally X3D?)) CCD but the full GPU.

The Framework one starts at ~$1100 but I’d argue it’s still a bad value, aside from being unrepairable and unupgradeable.
brucethemoose@lemmy.world 1 day ago
Yeah, any framework with a “big” GPU is just so expensive.
Ulrich@feddit.org 1 day ago
Well this one is not as expensive, relative to the competition. But their laptops are at least repairable and upgradable.

Framework Desktop contains an ITX board with a Strix Halo. It’s not cheap though, unless you compare it to an equivalent Mac Mini.

Eh, yeah, and it’s backordered.
Ideally I’d like a full x16 slot too (or at least electrical x8), but perhaps that’s asking too much.

It’s not released yet. And yeah, it’s standard ITX, Framework adheres to standards as much as possible.
