Just a push, because I would also be very interested in whether the 7840U will be in stock again at a future point in time (and if so, if there is an approximate timeline when that will be the case)
Originally I wanted to get the 2.8K screen and 7840u combo but I also procrastinated too long
Refurbs don’t really have much config choices, but just wanted to let you know about this option if you don’t mind the 2.8K screen option not being available.
You could also see if anyone is selling theirs on your local used item market, or r/frameworkmarket and r/hardwareswap .
The 7640U configurations are still in production and one of the configs is only temporarily out of stock. The 7840U configurations have a limited amount of remaining inventory that will be coming into stock, but otherwise production is complete.
Would you happen to know whether that is DIY or prebuilt systems?
I would really like to get a DIY with the new screen and an International English K/B
Also, like mentioned, is there an approximate ETA?
Thanks!
(BTW, would really love if I could order it now and it arriving when ready)
Thank you so much! Now I just need to decide whether to buy that one and then a better screen or wait and hope for the 7040 with the second generation screen…
I did not feel comfortable waiting for the hi-res screen and getting stuck with the 300 series. No thanks on those efficiency cores, I need all 8. But I did upgrade the webcam to Gen2.
@Destroya will there be any update somewhere when the last units are gone? I am especially interested in the 7840 with the 2.8k screen and will keep looking. But it would be nice to know if I am doing this for nothing
