Depends how long this market can remain utterly loony though.
"The Apple Silicon Mac Studios outperform the AMD Ryzen AI Max+ 395 machines"
The framework desktop even has a usable PCIe 4x slot available if you put the board in a different case. They sell the 128GB board on its own for $3150.
Open, cheap & good enough will win the race.
With the current RAM and SSD prices... I rather a bit later.
PS6 "undertaker of physical media" will supposedly be priced >$1k: https://youtu.be/-F1JS-4Abjo
As traditionally AMD was a supplier of parts.
Microsoft = yes, they care enormously, as Surface has taken away many sales. Albeit they sold some ChromeBooks
Only thing that separates them is the build quality and the extra 20W of boost the framework desktop and this variant support.
They have a note on the thermals but no measurement of noise. Doesn't matter if it's stricly a whoosh or a whine, only if they bother people in the same room. And the small ones like Bosgame get a consistent complaint about the noise in in-depth youtube videos.
