“This is the first time that we’ve had a screwed-on, non-soldered modular USB-C port,” Dell PM Katie Green tells us. She says Dell also plans to bring this to consumers “when it makes sense.” No word on Framework-like modularity yet.
Its new line of OmniDesk PCs features a sleek wood panel (in either brown or gray) on the front of the case, making HP the latest company to hop on the trend.
The “AI” version of its OmniDesk PC features an Intel Core Ultra 200F-series processor or AMD Ryzen 7 8700G chip and up to an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060.
