I understand parts will only be available once the 13 pro can be ordered immediately and is no longer shipping in batches, but I was wondering if anyone knew what the typical timeline for that is? I’m interested in getting either the input cover or the bottom cover upgrade kit.
Is it probably going to be post September (after batch 12 ships)? Or will that keep getting pushed back as pre-orders come in?
when I have asked a very similar question in the past, I got the answer when the new devices ships; that would be in June.
I hate to say it, but I don’t think anyone can know for sure, not even Framework. It depends on how many pre-orders they get, when people stop or seriously slow down. And it depends on how smoothly ramping up to mass production goes. Sometimes there are issues that introduce delays.
I believe somewhere they mentioned that more 13 pro pre-orders are coming in than expected.
It’d important to note that that is specifically about the intel, the AMD devices are still available from July. the parts are also sourced separately from the complete laptops, as they do not need to pass through the assembly line (maybe the chassi does?).
