I’ve just been charged, should ship soon. Pumped!
Ordered mine at the end of september, might be a little while before it ships lol.
@BoredFish Let me know how you go with Fusion 360, I’ll be using it on mine and I’m curious. My 11th Gen i5 laptop with 8GB soldered ram seems to hit GPU bottlenecks rather than CPU ones. RDNA2 however…
Fusion performance depends on what you’re doing with fusion. If you’re doing like rendering, you need GPU. However intel gpus are so bad that it might be better even if you get an older amd laptop lol.
Fusion rendering was CPU only last time I checked. Some sort of dumb compatibility thing.
My workload is just hyperfixating on creating giant and complex cad models, which immediately pins the Iris graphics at 100% lol.
wow, that’s crazy! When is ETA?
By the time it gets to you it will become a batch 3 
Support just got back to me (I’m in Batch 4 but was also confused by this) and it turns out it’s not a bug, per se. The card shown on the order summary page is the card that has already been charged, for the deposit - the card that will be charged is the one marked “default” in the payment methods.

Starting to get concerned there’s something holding up my order, still not been billed even though the “We’re preparing your batch” email was 1.5 weeks ago
Check spam folder. My “Action Required” email from FW was in the spam folder. They tried to charge the old card number I used for the preorder, despite me having updated the default payment method to the new card number many months ago.
The email contained an URL to pay immediately, so I did that, and they shipped out the next day.
Yeah, unfortunately I regularly check my spam and just checked it again and don’t have anything new from FW. I’m guessing that something in my order might be temporarily out of stock, not sure what else would cause the delay.
According to the poll, 2/3 of orders are not charge yet. I would be curious to know if the order charged and shipped are for Ryzen 7 or Ryzen 5. My order for DIY Ryzen 5 was confirmed on March 29th and I have not been charged yet.

Mine’s a ryzen 7 and I’ve gotten charged and shipped.
You probably just have a configuration, where not all parts are ready yet. The batch can last for quite a while and people from later batches might get their order before you, if all the components are ready for them earlier. No need to be concerned usually.
Same here, I hope I get charged this week. Fingers crossed.
And… mine clicks, almost like it has an old broken 2.5" mechanical HDD.
This old thread mentions a similar issue, from over 2 years ago. You’d think they’d have figured it out by now…
I’m not sure if it’s the fan or not, although I do hear the fan spinning up and down as if the designers never heard of this thing called, “hysteresis.”
How hard is it to make the fan behave? I wouldn’t even mind if it keeps running at some min speed even if the CPU temp goes to 0 Kelvin! I don’t even like the 0-RPM fan behavior on my desktop GPU, so I always disable it (thank God AMD Adrenaline has built-in functionality to disable it).
7840U DIY with 32gb (2x16) ram, black/gray bezels, 5 USB c and 2 USB A modules. Ordered March 29th. Charged last night. Shipping label created so I expect to get official shipping notification soon.
Very excited. I’ll be swapping from an old Thinkpad A485 (Ryzen 7 Pro 2700u). It’s been a great machine minus dock support, but it’s starting to show its age. My wife has the 13th gen Intel Framework and I’ve been jealous ever since.
I mostly use Windows, but I’ve considered switching to Linux as my other main machine is a Steam Deck. I have a 256gb expansion module that I can try dual booting from. I just need to find a distro similar enough to that of the Steam Deck (Manjaro?)
I also use a Caldigit TS4 dock with a 4k/120 display (HDMI 
). I’ll find and update the appropriate threads with compatibility if someone else hasn’t already done so.
EDIT: I also already have a dbrand skin waiting. It’s going to take some real control not to install it right away. I’m going to try and give it two weeks to make sure it’s all solid/no RMA.
Y’all lucky, getting your systems early. I’m getting mine today, wholly on time. Jokes aside, I can’t wait to get the thing together and booting.
Ordered mine March 25th and got it Friday. Wanted to play with it then but I had a ton of stuff going on and needed to go out and buy a new SSD; I had 1TB SSD’s in stock but only NVMe gen 3 so wanted a gen 4 device. Grabbed a Crucial P5 on Saturday before I realized it had the heatsink… so pulled that off and got to work.
Put Ubuntu 22.04 on it and the experience has been… OK. BIOS 3.02 for the record. The AMD iGPU has problems resetting at random, and under load the mouse pointer gets glitchy… thankfully most of the time I won’t be pushing this all that hard. Tried Xorg instead of Wayland and it’s even more unreliable. Looking forward to that 3.03 release to hopefully get some of these issues ironed out. Had to enable fractional scaling on the monitor because 200% looked like a Fisher-Price toy, and 100% is just hovering on the edge of too small to read comfortably. Still trying to find that sweet spot.
I did have one even of the SSD disappearing after I had installed the OS… I opened the machine up and reseated it and it’s been fine ever since, but keeping my eye on it anyway. A bit worried about heat issues but might pick up some low profile heatsinks that’ll fit in that tiny space and see if it eases the issue. Not seeing any heat problems at the moment though but I’m not using it nearly as heavily since I transferred all of my data onto it.
Despite all those teething issues (and yes, I am an early adopter and obviously a bit of a “maverick” with the OS choice) the laptop is brilliant. Runs quick and I’ve had zero issues with getting it to do what I want. The quality of the system is amazing, easily on par with my previous laptop of choice the Dell Latitude line of 13-15" laptops. The keyboard is a little plasticky but has nice longish travel and is comfortable to type on. The screen is absolutely gorgeous and the color gamut is brilliantly good. I also love the hardware buttons on the camera and mic… I can watch them disconnect and reconnect in DMESG as I switch them on and off… so nice to actually have a hardware disconnect in-line instead of software. Generally the whole system runs quiet, quick and cool.
All in all very happy with my purchase, and looking forward to getting the last glitches resolved. I’m still pushing it into being my daily driver starting today (typing on it right now) despite the occasional glitches I’m encountering.

I am also in batch 2 and did not even receive the mail that says they are preparing to ship my order.
As someone else said maybe there is some item in the order not ready yet.
For example I have ordered the Ryzen 7 DIY laptop with 2 USB-C cards, 1 USB-A card and 1 HDMI card. No RAM, SSD or charger. Do you have a similar configuration?
