Hands with frame desktop: a fast, easy mini-ItX PC

Your typical desktop PC has long been personal and easy to adjust. So why is the Computer-Computer Company best known for its ultra-frozen laptops-developing in this well-set market?

It is easy to understand after seeing, touch and try the frame desktop, which the company just announced. The product lies far from a typical desktop computer of the tower because it is compact, well built and removable enough to place it on a backpack. And its focus on processing and graphic power, through a long -awaited ryzen chip, can put it in front of many mini PC crowds.


How does the desktop of the frame feel

Compact design is part of the appeal on the frame desktop, which is easy to perform with one hand. (The frame will even sell an optional handle.) It is basically a desktop with mini-ItX-form factors that feels like it weighs about 10 pounds.

The product is also bold, with any carefully filled part of the chassis. In fact, the closure is so effective in closing that I initially tried to open it. At the top of the case there are two flip fasteners that you do not make, allowing you to enter the interiors of PC. The front face itself is easy to remove; It is attached through magnets.

“We designed the desktop of the frame to be the easiest PC you can build,” said the founder and CEO of the frame, Nirav Patel, in the detective event of the frame desktop.

Most desktop PCs are already up -to -date and repairable to a greater or smaller extent, so the frame included some elements that allow you to adjust the frame beyond the norm. For one, the front panel of PC contains some small plastic tiles that can individually replace to show different colors, symbols and logos – almost like jibbitz for crocs sandals …

The company also includes two of its enlargement card bay along the lower edge of the case; These accept personalizable I/O modules that allow you to change which ports of PC at a given moment. (Here, we have USB-C twin.)

By entering the desktop of the frame

In weakness, the desktop of the frame has not enough space for a dedicated graphics card. On the contrary, he relies on an integrated AMD Radeon 8060 GPU, which is part of his processor AMD Ryzen he (more about it at some point). In addition, RAM LPDDR5X is joined to the motherboard, so customers will not be able to exchange in new memory.

But outside of this, buyers can expect a PC with a standard port mix and some standard ingredients. The port (non-modular) of the port on the back is two USB4 type-C, two USB-A, two displaports, one HDMI output and one Ethernet 5GBPS outlet. The cooling for the system took place at the cooler master’s concert and noctua, and is anchored by an excessive 120 mm CPU fan in the signature of Noctua Beige and Maroon. (You can see it by turn off, dominating the interior.)

Motherboard, according to the frame, is a standard mini-ItX design with a Ryzen Laptop Max Laptop Stair CPU. (Frame notes that it uses standard titles and will work in other mini-ItX cases.) It has a PCI Express X4 (although the frame issue has no brackets for mounting any expansion card) and two PCIE NVME M. 2 at 16TB of Wi-Fi storage and connection (the latter through a module M.2).

The power supply is unusual; It is a half-watched unit at the Flex Atx, compared to SFX, form factor.

Of course, the big test will be the performance of the frame desktop, taking into account the AMD Ryzen chip it Max inside was actually created for laptops and tablets. To try and calm this concern, the frame event in San Francisco had several desktop units set to host a LAN old school party, and they seemed to be operating smoothly.

During the event, AMD added that its chip Ryzen he max is so powerful that he promises to direct every game you want up to 1440p with high detailed settings. (We look forward to testing it on the next PC like this, and 2025 Asus Rog Flow Z13.) Playing Elden Ring on a desktop frame in LAN, graphic quality and frame levels kept their heads strangely high . Now I’m excited to see how the desktop frame of the frame against PC games with discrete GPUs. Stay awake for our full desktop review; We are looking forward to Ryzen he max in it and on selected laptops and tablets.

Taking: An interesting proposal of PC value

Meanwhile, the frame is accepting the pre-porch for the desktop of the frame, with the shipments planned for Q3. (The framework of the frame had a several-minute line for hours after the company event.) The frame will require $ 1,999 for high desktop configuration of the frame, which includes AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 and 128 GB processor memory.

During its discovery, the frame stated that this high -level configuration is more than $ 2,000 cheaper than a similarly configured Apple MAC studio. The base model, on the other hand, is $ 1,099 for an eight-nucleus Ryzen he max 385 with 32 GB of RAM.
