We saw Strix Halo chips perform well in the Framework Desktop , albeit with more RAM, so we're excited to get our hands on this more mainstream laptop and test it to see just how well it works in a slightly more mainstream approach.

-Fran- Yes. This is good. Now we need the AI Max+ 388 ( :sick: name) in a good chassis with a decent screen and 32GB+ RAM (24+8 or 16+16 are great combinations). Regards. Reply
Matthew3957 The strix halo chip was in that HP workstation, the g1a ultra 14 or something, but the pricing was astronomical (at least when not on sale and even then it was absurd). Hoping these are vaguely affordable, but I want at least 64gb of RAM for it. Reply
