Framework officially launched pre-orders for its AMD Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495-powered Desktop mini PCs on September 30, as previously announced. Launch pricing started at $6,799 for the DIY Edition with 192 GB of unified memory and no pre-installed storage. A pre-built version with a 2 TB NVMe 4.0 SSD and Fedora Linux pre-installed comes with a $7,449 price tag.
It was revealed hours before launch that the OEM would only be offering one batch of the new Desktop SKU due to limited RAM quantities. Despite the eye-watering price, the first batch of Ryzen AI Max+ Pro 495 mini PCs sold out within hours of the start of pre-orders. However, in a post on X, Framework confirmed that it had managed to secure another batch of RAM for the Gorgon Halo systems, and it subsequently opened a second limited batch of pre-orders, which remain available at the time of writing and are slated to start shipping in November. Framework added in a separate post on X that prices for the Framework Desktop PC will only increase in the coming months.[](https://www.techpowerup.com/img/SRBRUqzIqrlnJEHo.jpg)Read full story
