Comment on AMD Ryzen AI Max+ "Strix Halo" Delivers Best Performance On Linux Over Windows 11 - Even With Gaming
commander@lemmy.world 1 day agoMy 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

The Framework one starts at ~$1100 but I’d argue it’s still a bad value, aside from being unrepairable and unupgradeable.

Yeah, any framework with a “big” GPU is just so expensive.

Well this one is not as expensive, relative to the competition. But their laptops are at least repairable and upgradable.

That’s where I think this will really shine. I agree that I wouldn’t get this to only play video games on, but they seem a LOT cheaper than the Mac Studios/Minis that are used for portable, heavy-duty compute.
