Framework Desktop (2025) Review: Powerful, but perhaps not for everyone

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-06 14:00:11

The most obvious question is “Why?” Framework builds modular , repairable laptops that anyone can take apart and put back together again. It’s a big deal in an era where laptops are regularly sold as a single unit that, should one part break, goes in the trash. Since every part of a Framework machine can be swapped out, you can keep one going for as long as your patience, and the supply of spare parts, allows.

The jury’s still out on early 2024’s Framework Laptop 16 and mid-2025’s Framework Laptop 12, neither of which has seen a hardware refresh, but so far, the company has released half a dozen iterations of its flagship Framework Laptop 13 in less than five years.

Framework Desktop Review: A Delightful Surprise

The Framework laptops did something no other laptop could. With the ability to upgrade or swap out nearly every internal component, they are sustainable, unlike any other. But the Framework Desktop isn’t so unique. After all, one of the primary reasons people buy (or build) desktop PCs is the ability to upgrade the system on their own. This 4.5-liter mini-ITX PC isn’t so different from many of the compact PCs you can already buy. And yet, Framework’s distinctive approach makes this stand out.

The Framework Desktop made me fall for small form factor PCs

Framework has built a name for itself by taking the locked down world of laptops and making them modular, upgradable, and repairable. So it’s surprising — and maybe even controversial — the way that Framework has approached its first desktop: it’s made a PC that’s actually less modular than most. Don’t worry; this isn’t a Mac Mini situation, where mere mortals are not meant to touch the innards of such a brilliant little computer. But it’s not a traditional small form factor PC, either.

MFA matters… But it isn’t enough on its own

Unprotected usernames and passwords offer little defense against account takeover attacks. Multi-factor authentication (MFA) has quite rightly become the de facto standard for strengthening access controls. There’s a reason almost all cybersecurity guidelines recommend it – Microsoft research suggests that enabling MFA can block over 99% of automated credential-stuffing and phishing attacks. Yet even the best MFA implementations leave a critical gap: weak, reused or compromised passwords. When
