Then don't make it work like that. Desktop PCs are modular and Framework made a worse product in terms of modularity and repairability, the main sales of Framework. Just, like… wtf. This Framework product is cursed and shouldn't exist.

    There’s little point in framework selling a conventional desktop.

    I guess they could have made another laptop size with the the dev time, but… I dunno, this seems like a niche that needs to be filled.

    This is where I'm at. The Framework guy was talking about how very few companies are using this AMD deal because the R&D to add it to existing models wasn't very viable, you really only have the Asus Z13 so I feel like being ahead of the game there will be a benefit in the long run as far as their relationship with AMD. Plus they're also doing a 12-in laptop now as well, so it's not like they committed all their resources to this.
