alt Hacker NewsHow does that Framework Desktop compare with the "GMKtec AI Mini Ryzen Al Max+ 395 128GB" mini PC?
I suspect this one is very similar hardware and a slightly better deal if you give up the cool factor of Framework. Although I don't really know.
Anyone compared them head-to-head?

same CPU, likely a different TDP setting.
This comparison uses hp G1a but I imagine it wouldnt be too far off from GMKtec: https://www.phoronix.com/review/framework-desktop-linux/9
Framework can be fed with more power to support better sustained performance is my understanding.

They're the same price. Both 395 machines (with 128GB of RAM) are $1999.

Oh wow, it does indeed have "AI" in its name twice. Cant't wait for this shit to blow over.

Hehe, that is just a Chinese company, isn't it? Say bye bye to warranty and support, repairability. I am not saying you shouldn't consider it but describing Framework merely as cool factor is the other extreme.
