The Framework Desktop, published by Ali Jennings on 31st July 2026, is a repairable, Linux-friendly mini PC built around the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395. It uses a 4.5-litre Mini-ITX chassis with a standard FlexATX power supply, support for standard 120mm CPU fans, a PCIe slot, and dual M.2 storage, making the SSD replaceable and the machine more serviceable than rivals. The compute includes 16 Zen 5 cores, the Radeon 8060S, and 128GB of LPDDR5X-8000 on a ~256GB/s bus, though the memory is soldered. Networking is 5GbE with Wi-Fi 7. The design suits open-source software: darktable runs on the Radeon 8060S via OpenCL, with RawTherapee, GIMP, and Krita as free alternatives, and DaVinci Resolve pairs naturally for video. For local AI, AMD’s ROCm stack is best supported on Linux, making it a strong platform for running models and building AI agents. The Framework Desktop is available now as a prebuilt system or DIY mainboard/kit in various configurations, with UK pricing varying by configuration.
