Are you generally happy with it? What do you mainly use it for?

I'm kinda tempted by the frameworks because they are somewhat energy efficient and compact (which I both value highly!) but my concern is that the GPU is on the low end for 1440p gaming (while being barely price-competitive with a self-built Ryzen9950 + 9070XT combination).

Most games play just fine at 1440 or 4K with upscaling.

Cyberpunk ray tracing is a bad experience, but I just finished 007 First Light on ultra settings with an 5k monitor using FSR and it was 45+ fps the whole time. Targeting 4K with fsr was 60fps.

I’m not a hardcore gamer or a pro reviewer, but it mostly just works without having to change much. If I were a hardcore gamer I think I would go with a better setup.

My big complaint for gaming is that they never enabled HDMI CEC. Apparently the pins are wired but they never shipped the firmware.

I use it exclusively as a server for LLM inference - first more for research but have been using it for coding now that there are sufficiently capable models that run on. For that I’m very happy.
