Terrible mobile website asking to turn off the adblocker making the entire thing unusable. Can’t be bothered to go through archive.is to make it readable…
Looking at the others in the ultra-SFFPC market segment they’re targeting (e.g. Mac Mini, Intel NUC, Nvidia DIGITS) this is a solid first outing.
It’s a standard ITX mainboard that happens to have soldered ram. It will fit in any ITX-compatible case and even has dedicated PCI-e slot in case you do use a case with space for a PCI-e device like an SFP+ card.
On the upside, the unified ram means the GPU can use it, and so you could run 70b-size models on it.
I bought a Lenovo thinkpad x1 carbon from a business closeout dealer or whatever for $150 is the greatest computer purchase I have ever made. It’s running Linux now, and I upgraded it with a 2tb ssd, and its tiny and fast, 16gb ram, hd display and fantastic keyboard.
I love the idea of the framework and they seem awesome, but when such a cheap option exists it is hard to justify to insane price tag. Desktop will only be worse I would imagine.
I have a x1 carbon gen 9. Be very careful with the USB-C ports. I leave mine on my desk and my hub kept cutting in and out while using it and its gotten worse over time. I’ve seen others with similar issues and it seems like the fix is to solder on a new port. Its a work laptop so I just deal with it.
Yes the one with 128GB of ram usable by the graphics card with every other component down the the usb slots modularised and swappable. Its a deliberate trade off that makes it very attractive for people doing ML work, its just with that level of grunt it’s also good for games.

The version with 128GB ram is $1999.
Nvidia’s equivalent (DIGITS) is $2,999.

Ah, yes, the one with the checks notes soldered on RAM.
