Modular laptop maker Framework recently unveiled its new mini PC, the Framework Desktop. This cutesy computer is powered by AMD's Strix Halo line-up, including the beefy Ryzen AI Max+ 395, which is a chip I've longed to see inside a mini PC since at least last week. Now, Framework has ripped one apart (gently) to see what it's made of.
You can see the iFixit video teardown above, but a couple of highlights worth shouting about include the two easily accessible NVMe SSDs, lack of tools required to peel it open, and expansion cards taken from its laptops, like the Framework 13 our Dave loves to pieces (literally). The Noctua fan you can fit inside it is a bonus, if a user chooses to fit it, though it's possible to add a Cooler Master fan or most other off-the-shelf 120 mm fans instead.
