You’ll all be pleasantly surprised at what this little machine can do.
From the moment I set it up last week, it’s been running like a calm sea at dawn — quiet, steady, and far more capable than its size suggests.
Of course, every voyage has its storms. I managed to short an M.2 SSD in the PCIe 4 slot — turned out the board’s power rail was a bit temperamental and didn’t keep constant flow. I simply cut the line, changed course, and moved on. Then one of the rear USB 3.0 ports went silent — I’ve troubleshot that thing till I was blue in the face. My solution? Tossed the wired keyboard overboard and sailed on with a Bluetooth helm instead.
And yes — there was that night I found myself stranded in emergency-mode boot. Three long hours later, after patching every leak and resetting every flag, she came roaring back to life.
But here’s the truth: even with a few rough waters behind me, I’m impressed beyond measure. The Framework Desktop feels like a ship that invites tinkering — every fix teaches you more, every glitch becomes a victory. There are hills to climb, yes, and a few mountains to conquer — but the valleys are pure bliss when everything hums in perfect harmony.
This machine isn’t just a workstation — it’s a companion for builders, quiet yet powerful, ready to chart new courses into the world of AI and for the past week heavy use in AI and no noise - just a whisper pleasant quietness. If my course changes - I will let you know but for now smoooooth sailing everyone.
