Batch 4 order here. I’m chomping at the bit to get the email. Has anyone heard of anyone from batch 4 getting their email?
As far as I know batch 3 is still waiting on emails for payment so 4 is probably a bit of a wait still, I have no idea why they still say new pre-order batches are shipping in December 2025 it looks like batch 5 shipping in December is ambitious and batch 6 would take a Christmas miracle so idk how 7-9 are “expected” to ship this year.

Maybe there are more 7700s orders in batches 5 upwards, so they might have more stock of the older model
But i doubt that many people bought the AMD option
I wonder what batches have actually shipped, because Reddit update from Framework was Batch 1 & 2 got their prep emails on November 16th. Hopefully we (Batch 3/4) get prep and ship emails this week or next.
hey im batch 4 too
i got:
hx 370
5070
no ram, no storage (picked up 96 gb ddr5 and 4 tb of m.2 earlier this year)
blank ansi keyboard
black spacers
black bezel
and then for expansion cards, all default color:
2x usb c
2x usb a
2x hdmi
2x display port
1x micro sd
1x sd
1x ethernet
going to be running cachyos on it.
i was originally going to do 64 gb of ram but 96 was only $40 more for me based on the deals i found so… i got 96. i do gaming, VR stuff, and lots of blender and im excited to have all the power and a card that blender can utilize more (im currently on 32gb, a ryzen 5600, and an amd 6750 xt)
i spend a lot of time in two different houses and haven’t been bothering to move my desktop with me. it’ll be nice to have more power than my desktop in something i can also put in my backpack.

I’m also in batch 4. hopefully it will be shipped before Christmas.
Since we’re sharing our configs:
EDIT:
I’ve started a thread where we can track the shipment of batches as a community, since Framework hasn’t given us any new information. I don’t think anyone beyond batch 2 has received any notifications or been charged yet, but keep this in mind for when we start getting our notifications. (Hopefully soon!)

The link in that doesn’t work… whoops! I can’t edit the post now apparently, so here’s the proper link.
I just got the mail (German):
Wir bereiten Batch 4 of Framework Laptop 16 DIY Edition (AMD Ryzen™ AI 300 Series) vor! Bitte überprüfen Sie Ihre Angaben.
Today is a really good day

I also got my batch preparation email a few hours ago!
just got the email myself
Also got the batch preparation email. Things looking good 
Ditto! Got mine as well for the DIY Kit (Thankfully i selected RAM Before the Prices started spiraling out of control hehe, Just Another thing to add to my Love/Hate Relationship Bucket with AI i suppose)
Hopefully it shouldnt take the full 18 days to get charged for the laptop 
(did sort of wish there was a pay now button because im likely not changing anything before the 12th)

What OS will you be putting on your FW 16 (out of curiosity)
I can’t decide between Fedora 43 and Bazzite 
Oh…. Im Mostly gonna be using Windows 11 on my FW16, And Maybe I can dual boot Bazzite/Ubuntu on my Framework (Im leaning towards Bazzite though, mostly because of Bringus lol)

Of course you know Bringus XD
He (and Wulffden) is how i discovered Bazzite too
But yeah with a 5070 i would use Windows too (and if i would play a lot of EAC games)
Honestly I’m dual booting as both my main os of choice (NixOS) and windows 11 for those pesky apps I desperately need that sadly don’t have any good way of running on Linux even under wine or proton.

im going with cachyos.
as someone who’s worked on FOSS stuff in the handheld community, really advise against going with bazzite. some the devs have been hostile to many ive worked with, and they’ve had a very proprietary mindset in their goals and execution. it’s a decent OS but the reasons so many youtubers push it have less to do with merit. a bunch of stuff just came out publicly about one of the devs that has actively bullied several folks i’ve directly worked with out of the space entirely. im not saying the OS is bad, i know a lot of people happy with it, but it might be a shaky basket to put your eggs into.
if you want fedora just use fedora.
