To be fair it starts with 32GB of RAM, which should be enough for most people. I know it's a bit ironic that Framework have a non-upgradeable part, but I can't see myself buying a 128GB machine and hoping to raise it any time in the future.
If you really need an upgradeable machine you wouldn't be buying a mini-PC anyways, seems like they're trying to capture a different market entirely.
According to the CEO in the LTT video about this thing it was a design choice made by AMD because otherwise they cannot get the ram speed they advertise.
Yes that's the problem.
That they want to sell cheap ai research machines to use for workstation?
