It’s an interesting idea, and if that iGPU is actually all it’s cracked up to be then it should make for a relatively potent little console-a-like, considering its size. But… Lack of upgrades means it’s a no from me, dawg. I get why it’s not upgradable: it’s a mobile CPU, and signal integrity issues make any kind of RAM socket infeasible. But the iGPU is reportedly roughly comparable to a 4060, and that’s just not enough for me to consider plonking it next to my 65” 4K TV. Not when it costs so much and I’ll never be able to upgrade the GPU. But it’s a neat idea, and I do respect what Framework are doing in general, so I hope they can find a market and make this work. EDIT: Aye, it’s unified LPDDR5x with dynamic allocation, which IIRC is the same setup as Apple Silicon. Nice from a VRAM perspective, because it can expand on the fly, but I’m a bit more conflicted on it as a general trend.
Saw that the other day and didn't really get it, maybe I misunderstood but looked so limiting I thought what's the point of it vs other small form factor pcs, as Byron said you can't upgrade it etc so didn't make sense to me.
Pure filth! An integrated board with 4060Ti GPU level graphics is appealing, but way out of my budget at £1,100. The full 4.5L kit with handle is impressive, but even more painful to the wallet. I'm currently downsizing my LAN box from 14 to 7.5 L, I bought a mesh sided Metalfish T40
I'm not totally against it but that case is fugly, and the idea of Framework producing a non-upgradeable pc seems a bit mental.
