  1. They mentioned something to the effect of that chip being preferable for AI because of how its 128 GB of memory is so tightly integrated directly into the processor. I don't know much about AI, but that seems to be the only use this thing has going for it over the alternative. Also, I don't think they mentioned anything about it, but it looked like its case had at least two expansion card slots. Though that is far from revolutionary compared to a standard mini ITX PC you could build yourself.
  2. Nope, convertible was only mentioned to be 13th gen Intel.
  3. I do not recall prices being revealed for any of the other products, but the Desktop came in three SKUs, costing something like 1099-1999 USD.

    Yeah, the processor itself is a big deal, but that processor will also be available in a myriad of other products, and the Framework one will be no more repairable or upgradeable. So they're not really bringing anything special to the table in that regard.

    convertible was only mentioned to be 13th gen Intel.

    I don't even understand why they even bother to make them available at all with Intel. They've been left in the dust for years by AMD. Who is buying these?

    They did mention their price being very competitive, so that is probably how they intend to differentiate it from other products with the same processor.
