Framework has officially launched its first desktop PC, the Framework Desktop, during a live event in San Francisco on February 25, 2025.

The desktop is competitively priced, starting at $1,099 for the base model and going up to $1,999 for the high-end version, which features 128GB of RAM.

Powered by the AMD Ryzen AI Max processor, the desktop offers strong gaming performance with integrated graphics comparable to a mobile Nvidia RTX 4060.

Despite its compact 4.5L size, the Framework Desktop is capable of handling 1440p gaming and workstation tasks, making it appealing for users seeking a space-efficient system.

Users can customize the aesthetics of their desktop with black or translucent side panels and interchangeable front panels that allow for 3D printed modifications.

The device is available in both a mainboard version and a DIY edition, enabling users to customize components and assemble it in under five minutes.

However, the desktop's upgradability is limited, as the CPU, GPU, and RAM are soldered to the motherboard, raising concerns about future enhancements.

The RAM options range from 32GB to 128GB, with the soldered design aimed at maximizing memory bandwidth for AI applications.

Framework has not confirmed any plans for future revisions or boards for the Desktop, leaving questions about long-term upgradability.

Maintaining open PC standards, the Framework Desktop features a mini ITX form factor with multiple connectivity options, including USB4 ports and Wi-Fi 7.

The system is designed to be cable-light, featuring precisely cut cables and an optional LAN party carry handle for portability.

During the launch event, the desktop was benchmarked with Cyberpunk 2077, achieving 73fps at 1440p with Ultra settings, showcasing its gaming capabilities.
