MetaComputing ARM AI PC
The MetaComputing ARM AI PC is a Cix P1 mainboard for the Framework Laptop 13 chassis, the first third-party Arm mainboard for that laptop. MetaComputing sells it alone, as a complete laptop, or as a mini PC. It boots through TianoCore EDK II and ships with Ubuntu on Cix’s Linux 6.6 BSP kernel.
