Framework Desktop (2025)

Framework's first desktop is a 4.5-litre mini-ITX system built around AMD's Ryzen AI Max (Strix Halo). The rear I/O is unusually dense for a small-form PC: one HDMI 2.1, two DisplayPort 2.1, two USB Type-C (USB4 40Gbps), two USB-A 10Gbps, a 3.5mm combo jack, and a 5GbE RJ-45. The front face carries two swappable Framework Expansion Card slots — the same modular port adapters used on Framework laptops — so users pick whatever I/O they want up front.

Strix Halo mini-ITX desktop with HDMI 2.1, 2× DP 2.1, 2× USB4, 2× USB-A, 5GbE, and modular front ports.
