1 00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:07,000 I might have invested in framework but I only find out all the cool stuff that 2 00:00:04,720 --> 00:00:12,920 they're up to like a couple days before you guys the good news is this time 3 00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,960 around I am absolutely jazzed against an 4 00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:20,000 army of Industry Giants I'm seemingly Against All Odds they not only continue 5 00:00:17,080 --> 00:00:25,000 to survive but in front of me is their biggest launch announcement yet I'm 6 00:00:22,439 --> 00:00:30,960 talking seventh gen framework 13 their fastest 13-in laptop yet an allnew 12-in 7 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:37,399 convertible laptop with finally a touchcreen finally and wait a 8 00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:43,320 desktop did we really need framework to develop modular repairable 9 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:50,399 desktops oh wait hold on a second this is new modular swappable front IO and 10 00:00:47,079 --> 00:00:53,359 look at this you can even swap these 11 00:00:50,399 --> 00:00:58,680 tiles this one has a segue to our sponsor ug green are you getting the 12 00:00:55,640 --> 00:01:01,039 storage warning on your phone again well 13 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:06,799 a ug green NZ could be the solution with up to 64 tabt of storage it can store up 14 00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:10,320 to 22 million selfies and to keep them secure it comes with a built-in security 15 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:16,200 manager to protect your data so check out the ugreen nas sync dxp 2800 at the 16 00:01:13,320 --> 00:01:16,200 link in the video 17 00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:29,640 description normally for a multi-product video we go from most exciting to less 18 00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:36,479 exciting and then save a pretty good one for the the end but I'm equally stoked 19 00:01:32,159 --> 00:01:36,479 for everything here so game of 20 00:01:37,240 --> 00:01:46,560 chance hey nice one of my biggest 21 00:01:43,360 --> 00:01:48,880 disappointments at CES was AMD's stricks 22 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:53,159 Halo processor not the chip itself of course I mean that could be the coolest 23 00:01:50,960 --> 00:01:58,560 thing that I've seen out of AMD in years and maybe even the coolest PC CPU on the 24 00:01:56,119 --> 00:02:03,439 market right now this thing has a massive integrated GP that boasts 25 00:02:00,759 --> 00:02:11,200 performance that is similar to an RTX 4060 on integrated graphics and it even 26 00:02:07,719 --> 00:02:15,519 allows you to allocate up to 96 GB of 27 00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:18,440 its maximum 128 gigs of lpddr 5x to that 28 00:02:15,519 --> 00:02:24,599 GPU making it awesome for gamers creative professionals and AI developers 29 00:02:22,160 --> 00:02:30,840 no the disappointing thing was that this sick processor barely made it into any 30 00:02:27,400 --> 00:02:33,840 products all I saw at the show was one 31 00:02:30,840 --> 00:02:36,920 admittedly awesome laptop from HP and 32 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:39,080 One gaming tablet from Asus talking to 33 00:02:36,920 --> 00:02:43,239 those Brands they said the issue was that stricks Halo requires a complete 34 00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:48,519 motherboard and device redesign making its implementation in mobile devices 35 00:02:45,319 --> 00:02:50,440 really costly so I guess framework said 36 00:02:48,519 --> 00:02:54,760 screw it we're a small company and can't afford all that but what if we just made 37 00:02:52,360 --> 00:03:00,480 it into a desktop is that really how it went down that is literally how it went 38 00:02:56,560 --> 00:03:02,720 down oh well this 4 and 1/2 l least is 39 00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:06,720 unmistakably framework it's got modular front I/O and a customizable front panel 40 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:11,200 and the base model that I'm holding here will come with just black tiles and no 41 00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:15,519 handle but if you want you can get logos for games and generally nerdy things and 42 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:18,599 stick them onto the front and if they don't have the exact thing you're 43 00:03:16,680 --> 00:03:23,560 looking for they are also releasing the 3D print files so you can make whatever 44 00:03:21,159 --> 00:03:28,439 you want and Alex has some cool stuff for us to show off I want to see what 45 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:30,360 you got 46 00:03:28,439 --> 00:03:36,400 nice what else we got who needs ventilation anyway Lego ones no way we 47 00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:43,680 could put Lego on the front of our computer yep oh no way this one I don't 48 00:03:40,560 --> 00:03:46,159 think will work uh that is phallic not 49 00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:54,439 as phallic as if I put it here oh no I broke it shoot my wife will be so 50 00:03:50,159 --> 00:03:57,159 disappointed and the coolest one no this 51 00:03:54,439 --> 00:04:01,840 is our upcoming LT store upcycled CPU fidget spinner h of course most people 52 00:03:59,879 --> 00:04:05,640 aren't buying a desktop PC for the look so why don't we go around to the 53 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:10,640 business end at the back we've got a total of four display outputs and 5 GB 54 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:15,760 Ethernet meaning that this could conceivably be used for 4K video editing 55 00:04:13,079 --> 00:04:19,079 off of a network storage device and on the top of the launch boox you've got 56 00:04:17,280 --> 00:04:24,440 the option for a handle that also functions as the Fastener to open the 57 00:04:21,720 --> 00:04:29,320 entire thing up how the devil what is happening right 58 00:04:31,320 --> 00:04:39,199 that's pretty cool first the top panel slides back then both of the side panels 59 00:04:36,039 --> 00:04:40,840 just slide up and off they come now 60 00:04:39,199 --> 00:04:45,000 you'll notice that on the back panel here they had to sputter metal for 61 00:04:43,199 --> 00:04:50,120 electromagnetic radiation compliance reasons but on the front they were able 62 00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:55,800 to get away with a plastic panel and still pass Emi surprising not just me 63 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:59,680 but apparently framework themselves now that we've got it open we can see that 64 00:04:57,919 --> 00:05:04,199 while they are using what isch technically a mobile processor they're 65 00:05:01,720 --> 00:05:10,000 using a standard-sized mini ITX motherboard including a buy4 PCI E slot 66 00:05:08,240 --> 00:05:13,840 meaning that when you were done with this as your primary desktop system you 67 00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:19,080 could pop this motherboard out and put it anywhere you want including 68 00:05:16,039 --> 00:05:20,759 installing PCI expansion cards over the 69 00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:24,960 processor they're using a heat sink that was made in collaboration with Cooler 70 00:05:22,400 --> 00:05:30,199 Master and you have the option of a fan either from Cooler Master or noctua 71 00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:35,000 which by the way guys has barely been spinning this entire time here thanks in 72 00:05:32,919 --> 00:05:38,960 part to the Honeywell phase change thermal interface material now one thing 73 00:05:37,280 --> 00:05:43,759 I was slightly concerned about with this system was the CPU die because it's a 74 00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:48,240 mobile processor it's designed to have the cooler directly on the exposed die 75 00:05:46,479 --> 00:05:52,880 itself without an integrated heat spreader this can run the risk of 76 00:05:50,400 --> 00:05:57,919 potentially cracking the die in shipping and in the event that the user removes 77 00:05:54,880 --> 00:06:00,000 the cooler and reinstalls it inexpertly 78 00:05:57,919 --> 00:06:04,000 but fortunately AMD thought of this and includes the shim so hopefully it should 79 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:08,199 be pretty low risk we've got a couple more fun little 80 00:06:06,280 --> 00:06:12,880 cooling Innovations down here at the bottom is a little tiny fresh air intake 81 00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:16,479 for the power supply so it doesn't have to share its Air Supply with the rest of 82 00:06:14,560 --> 00:06:20,599 the PC and then at the top of the machine there's a handy little cutout 83 00:06:18,479 --> 00:06:26,199 that makes accessing both the CPU fan header and the RGB header a bit easier 84 00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:30,960 at least for those with bigger fies the other things that are super easy to 85 00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:34,560 access are boom your Wi-Fi module and 86 00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:37,000 your PCIe Gen 4 m.2 SSD storage along 87 00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:41,199 with a second m.2 slot that's around here at the front now one thing that 88 00:06:39,080 --> 00:06:46,479 unfortunately cannot be upgraded after purchase is system memory so make sure 89 00:06:44,039 --> 00:06:49,039 you get enough from the get-go I hope that this is something that can be 90 00:06:47,479 --> 00:06:53,400 improved in the future but it would require permission from AMD the good 91 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:59,360 news is the desktop can be outfitted with up to 128 gigs of lpddr 5x and 92 00:06:57,039 --> 00:07:04,039 framework expects that a lot of users are going to be buying that top config 93 00:07:01,479 --> 00:07:09,120 to run AI models for power we've got a semi-custom unit from fsp that's a 94 00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:11,440 little bit deceptive while it says 400 95 00:07:09,120 --> 00:07:15,759 WTS on the label they actually selected a power supply that was designed to do 96 00:07:13,240 --> 00:07:20,800 600 watts then they downrated it to make sure that it runs very quietly and 97 00:07:18,080 --> 00:07:25,960 efficiently man this thing looks cool I am psyched these are usb4 obviously 98 00:07:23,319 --> 00:07:30,240 right those too sick before we move on to the next product can you explain why 99 00:07:28,160 --> 00:07:34,440 this doesn't have replaceable LP cam modules already and where you got that 100 00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:38,960 amazing embroidered Hood I do love this I wear it all the time so we did 101 00:07:36,840 --> 00:07:41,680 actually ask AMD about this the first time they told us about strick was 102 00:07:40,360 --> 00:07:47,800 actually literally our first question how do we get modu or memory we are framework after all and they didn't say 103 00:07:45,960 --> 00:07:52,159 no actually they did assign one of their technical Architects like really really 104 00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:55,840 go deep on this they ran simulations they ran studies they just determine 105 00:07:54,159 --> 00:08:00,360 that it's not possible with st Halo to do LP cam the signal Integrity doesn't 106 00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:05,520 work out because of how that memory is Fanning out over the 256 bit bus oh well 107 00:08:03,479 --> 00:08:11,039 that's bad news but hey your hoodie looks great coming soon LTT Store.com 108 00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:11,039 look it's a framework circuit 109 00:08:11,199 --> 00:08:18,080 board that is a bummer but the good news is that framework has committed to not 110 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:21,319 nickel and dime people on the RAM upgrades absolutely it sounds like I'm 111 00:08:20,319 --> 00:08:26,919 saying absolutely I'm going to nickel and dime people when you frame it that way but you won't I won't I promise I 112 00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:31,319 love the look of this thing but MAV I have a bit of a problem if you could if 113 00:08:28,560 --> 00:08:34,760 I could borrow you for a second here when I invested in you guys and you know 114 00:08:33,120 --> 00:08:38,000 all the inconvenience of the disclosures and everything I don't cover laptops 115 00:08:36,719 --> 00:08:43,959 that much and I wasn't that worried about it you guys make a desktop 116 00:08:41,839 --> 00:08:49,040 now yeah do you not see the inconvenience for me of you guys having 117 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:52,040 what is an incredible product but one that conflicts with literally everything 118 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:56,040 I cover yeah it just means there's going to be 10 seconds of every video you ever 119 00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:59,959 do again talking about us that sounds that sounds really great oh my God 120 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:08,760 next up is something that I've been pleading for since the beginning from 121 00:09:05,279 --> 00:09:10,320 framework a touchscreen option I just 122 00:09:08,760 --> 00:09:16,040 wasn't expecting there to be a whole new device attached to it meet the framework 123 00:09:13,079 --> 00:09:20,640 12 a convertible 12.2 in laptop with repairability of course and maybe more 124 00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:25,640 importantly for you folks who haven't been able to pull the trigger on a 13 or 125 00:09:22,320 --> 00:09:28,320 a 16 price at the very center of its 126 00:09:25,640 --> 00:09:32,920 design philosophy possibly my favorite feature here has got to be the colors 127 00:09:30,680 --> 00:09:37,920 they have five in total that all look fantastic and although the materials are 128 00:09:35,640 --> 00:09:42,920 plastic they have done it in an unapologetically durable way with TPU 129 00:09:40,519 --> 00:09:48,279 bumpers to absorb shocks and a metal internal structure to make sure that it 130 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:49,880 isn't too floppy up top we get a 1200p 131 00:09:48,279 --> 00:09:54,360 touchscreen with 400 nits Peak brightness that is a lot better than 132 00:09:52,720 --> 00:09:59,040 what I would normally expect from like an affordable screen even though uh the 133 00:09:57,560 --> 00:10:03,079 bezels are a little on the bigger side yeah I'm getting the knot and it gets 134 00:10:00,839 --> 00:10:07,720 even better if touching isn't your thing the 12 is also available with a color 135 00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:11,800 matched stylus and comes with a color match screwdriver speaking of now's as 136 00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:15,120 good a time as any to take it apart isn't it I'm going to use my screwdriver 137 00:10:13,839 --> 00:10:19,519 though if it's all the same to you it's okay I'll show yours wait do you guys 138 00:10:17,600 --> 00:10:26,480 even have the color matched one we have them in Taiwan oh I'll get mine do you 139 00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:30,720 want to powered off first fine oh is that the only sample that 140 00:10:28,839 --> 00:10:33,880 exists in that's the only ID complete one oh okay that explains why you want 141 00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:40,040 me to not break it I mean you could just put another motherboard in it's super repairable all captive screws love to 142 00:10:37,639 --> 00:10:44,279 see it and you guys have the new locking position locks oh my God 143 00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:50,480 this one really doesn't want to come out does it you can lock them in oh no it's not locked in oh child wait how did I 144 00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:56,519 how did you remove that so easily inside once we get in there shut up Child 145 00:10:52,959 --> 00:10:59,360 Safety Lock oh red is for 146 00:10:56,519 --> 00:11:06,959 unlock okay who else on the entire Earth uses red for unlocked cars oh they 147 00:11:04,079 --> 00:11:13,160 do oh they've got little finger tabbies and this is a big Improvement 148 00:11:10,639 --> 00:11:18,120 gone is the ribbon cable that connects the keyboard to the motherboard here is 149 00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:21,839 a pogo pin interface they're more expensive but boy are they ever more 150 00:11:19,920 --> 00:11:26,480 user friendly what else we got in here the modular IO that we've come to know 151 00:11:23,880 --> 00:11:30,920 and love but this time with a little party trick the expansion cards can be 152 00:11:28,680 --> 00:11:34,480 locked in place so that if these laptops get deployed in a school for instance 153 00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:38,920 the teachers don't have to worry about little Timmy hucking USBC ports at 154 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:42,839 Little Sally across the room here's a nice little touch this little magnet 155 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:47,880 right here that holds the keyboard down so the Pogo pin stay nicely attached it 156 00:11:45,680 --> 00:11:52,519 doubles as a holder for your RAM Shield when you're working on it how cool is 157 00:11:49,639 --> 00:11:57,160 that now you might have noticed that there's just one RAM Shield over a 158 00:11:54,560 --> 00:12:02,639 single RAM slot meaning that this laptop does run in single Channel mode which is 159 00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:04,839 is kind of a shame but not a shame is 160 00:12:02,639 --> 00:12:09,240 the little toolless SSD holder right here making upgrades just that little 161 00:12:06,760 --> 00:12:14,320 bit easier now for the processor in this thing we don't get anything wild it's 162 00:12:10,839 --> 00:12:16,639 either an Intel core I3 1215 U or a 1334 163 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:22,000 U which are neither the fastest nor the most efficient processors but what they 164 00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:24,480 are is decent enough and affordable not 165 00:12:22,000 --> 00:12:29,360 to mention way better than the cerons that you find in real low-end Windows 166 00:12:26,639 --> 00:12:32,959 machines down at the bottom we get a 50w battery which hopefully will last a good 167 00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:36,480 long while uh but we won't have actual numbers until we get a production sample 168 00:12:34,480 --> 00:12:40,199 later this year and we also don't have exact pricing yet but it will definitely 169 00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:45,639 start for under $1,000 finally while framework has only 170 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:51,120 been around for 5 years they have been very busy and we are now on the seventh 171 00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:55,040 iteration of their original framework 13 172 00:12:51,120 --> 00:12:57,000 that oh no has finally caved to Pure 173 00:12:55,040 --> 00:13:01,399 pressure and given the people what they've so desperately wanted a 174 00:12:59,680 --> 00:13:08,720 touchcreen no not yet a co-pilot button framework 175 00:13:06,639 --> 00:13:14,000 was so excited to show us their new keyboards with the co-pilot button that 176 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:16,360 they forgot to bring a sample of it so 177 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:21,360 here's some b-roll thankfully the co-pilot key is just one of the options 178 00:13:18,519 --> 00:13:26,519 and they now also offer a keyboard with no Windows logos at all for the Linux 179 00:13:24,279 --> 00:13:30,000 users out there and more importantly they've redone the structure of the keys 180 00:13:28,079 --> 00:13:34,920 moving from metal to plastic for the larger keys this was done not to cheap 181 00:13:32,760 --> 00:13:38,920 out but because at certain frequencies the metal would start buzzing and 182 00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:43,680 vibrating and the plastic helps make the speaker sound a bit better go figure the 183 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:49,120 biggest change of course though is the performance for the first time we're 184 00:13:45,920 --> 00:13:53,240 getting a ryzen 9 CPU specifically the 185 00:13:49,120 --> 00:13:56,399 ryzen 9 AI HX 370 with 12 cores and up 186 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:58,320 to 5.1 GHz boost clock to keep this 187 00:13:56,399 --> 00:14:02,920 monster cool they've moved from two small heat pipes to a single large one 188 00:14:01,000 --> 00:14:09,120 also aided by a swap to phase change thermal interface material oh the bezels 189 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:11,000 also get a small update is that right to 190 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:14,399 make sure that everything oh cute to make sure that everything is adequately 191 00:14:12,639 --> 00:14:18,399 fancy this is actually n's personal laptop so we could find out all kinds of 192 00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:23,720 things about framework future plans if I was able to incapacitate him and steal 193 00:14:20,959 --> 00:14:29,560 his fingerprint which I can't one more bonus thing is uh ah yes this framework 194 00:14:26,880 --> 00:14:34,959 16 looks normal enough until you notice anything weird about the 195 00:14:32,199 --> 00:14:39,560 keyboard This proof of concept here is an ortholinear keyboard layout that was 196 00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:44,199 designed to show off their new custom laptop key switches these would allow 197 00:14:42,079 --> 00:14:47,959 their users to create any layout that they'd like allowing them to make 198 00:14:45,959 --> 00:14:53,680 whatever good or bad decisions that they can imagine why are you guys so cool I 199 00:14:51,079 --> 00:14:57,480 have some questions if you will is this fully compatible with my original 200 00:14:55,399 --> 00:15:00,600 framework chassis like with the new thermal requirements it is yeah you can 201 00:14:59,199 --> 00:15:06,199 drop it in all the way back to the original framework laptop 13 wow I don't 202 00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:10,240 have mine anymore I sold it in an auction it's kind of a thing I do from 203 00:15:08,279 --> 00:15:15,240 time to time I want to talk to you for the first time about our secret shopper 204 00:15:12,519 --> 00:15:20,040 video which he never emailed me about and we haven't spoken about I'm not sure 205 00:15:17,040 --> 00:15:21,240 what this is wait you didn't notice are 206 00:15:20,040 --> 00:15:27,759 you kidding right now I do remember I do remember actually 207 00:15:25,800 --> 00:15:31,120 did you forget now I remember tend to blank out the uh the the negative parts 208 00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:36,240 of my life so you consider it a negative no no 209 00:15:34,519 --> 00:15:41,120 it was it was good actually I will say we instituted a deeper secret shopper 210 00:15:39,040 --> 00:15:45,079 policy within our leadership team following on that video really okay cuz 211 00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:50,440 honestly I thought you guys came away looking pretty okay not perfect so what 212 00:15:48,279 --> 00:15:52,880 do you guys do now I and honestly I thought that was a really fair video 213 00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:58,399 that you did you called out stuff that was legitimately things that we can improve on so we've been digging into 214 00:15:56,160 --> 00:16:03,759 that as a leadership team we've built our own secret Chopper process that we 215 00:16:01,160 --> 00:16:07,480 run regularly now and just across the board through our basically post 216 00:16:05,759 --> 00:16:11,480 purchase experience we're trying to revamp things that's very cool but you 217 00:16:09,920 --> 00:16:15,600 didn't want to send me an email about it or anything thought I thought in the 218 00:16:13,560 --> 00:16:19,600 intance of of neutrality it would be better if I didn't this is actually 219 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:25,199 hilarious this is legitimately the first time that we have exchanged any words 220 00:16:23,000 -->
