A Blender 3D model of the Framework Desktop by roymustangXVI, rigged as an interactive color picker to preview tile and side panel/fan colors before ordering.

A web-based interactive tile color picker for the Framework Desktop by wolfie, letting users experiment with tile layouts and colors.

The Framework Desktop is a Mini-ITX workstation announced at the 2nd Gen event in February 2025. It features an AMD Strix Halo APU and is designed to be modular, containing two front-side expansion card slots as seen in Framework's laptop models. The front panel has slots for 21 interchangeable tiles for user customization. Pre-orders opened February 25, 2025 with shipping planned for early Q3 2025. After missing that target by ~6 weeks, Batch 1 units shipped the week of August 11, 2025 alongside the review embargo lift. Memory is soldered LPDDR5x (non-upgradeable) — Framework worked with AMD for months but concluded it was not technically feasible to land modular memory at high throughput with the 256-bit memory bus.

Forge Works (forgework.shop) offers precision-engineered replacement tiles for the Framework Desktop front panel. Each tile is manufactured from high-grade PETG (or other premium materials) with tight tolerances matching Framework's open-source tile specifications.
