    I figured the SSD was easily accessible but being able to upgrade the RAM was a welcome surprise.

      Yeah me too. Was worried it would be like those ryzen ai max or whatever with soldered on stuff.

    This is so sad. I can’t put into words bis much I hate ai. It’s making everything worse in my life. Art, politics, news, talking to friends about their chatgpt enlightenments and now gaming too. I was so looking forward to the frame. :(

    I really want a Frame but I want it more for the software. If I could flash the garbage off my Quest 3 and use whatever Valve cooked up I am confident it would be vastly better. The hardware is decent. The operating system is garbage and they keep reducing its functionality every update.

    I wonder how far they’re willing to push the “its just a PC” rhetoric - they might consider releasing a chassis only enthusiast version without RAM and SSD etc. Similar to how Framework has their DIY edition and configurator.

      I’m wondering if Gaben could buy a semiconductor foundry and start producing RAM.

        Thats a software vendors wet dream - owning the store where people buy your software all the way down to owning the fabs that produce hardware required to play those games.
