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.

Notes & Compatibility
Queue title says ‘Framework Desktop Edition’ — official name is just ‘Framework Desktop’. Front face hosts 2× Framework Expansion Card slots (user-swappable: USB-A, USB-C, HDMI, DP, Ethernet, microSD, headphone — pick at order). Front ports not modeled here because they are user-configurable. Rear RJ-45 is 5GbE — modeled as 2.5G Ethernet (closest approved name); ‘5GBASE-T Ethernet’ is not yet in connector taxonomy.
