Guilty. This thing came out at the perfect time and I was considering building my own or a Mac mini but this has 95% of what I’m looking for for less than a spec compromised Mac mini. So I preordered. And I kept hitting refresh lol.

They did announce three major products today.

Yeah that touchscreen tablet convertible machine is what has me psyched. I'm not the target for it, and already own a 16, but I could see that thing selling well. I honestly think they came out with the desktop because they just kinda felt they needed a desktop.

I have a 16 and a 13, I thought I'd give away the 13 when I got the 16 but I keep using the 13 as well cause of how portable it is. Lot nicer to lounge about with the 13 than the 16.

I might get the 12 to replace my 13 and use it for drawing practice and web browsing. Performance wise it'd be a downgrade from my 1280p but I don't really need the performance.

I visited their website literally within about 10 minutes of them announcing the product and I had to wait 8 minutes to get in.

If framework has, or had, one problem, it was that the main appeal of their products was the repairability, the products themselves were only okay in terms of specs. Well now they have really decent specs as well.

I could absolutely see schools wanting to deploy these to their students.

I always think the Mac mini is just a bit too mini. It's a desktop so it's not exactly going to be moved around a lot so it doesn't need to be quite that tiny and this thing is a good compromise between still being small but without being so small that it offers no upgradability.

And I know Apple says otherwise but surely that thing must get thermally throttled at some point.

The Lemmy Lick strikes again!
