I’m excited, but I’m telling myself I’m glad I don’t have it yet, because some of the firmware/BIOS and Linux issues will likely be ironed out by the time I get mine, lol.

Same here, although it looks like I won’t have to sell the ram and SSD I bought on prime day. Some people that bought the same kit seem to be having some success getting their machines up and running.

Anyone else go Crucial 5600 46CL 32GB? It can run CL44 on stock voltage if timing options are ever added to the Framework bios!

Looks like you were spot on! People just started to receive “We’re preparing Batch 3…” emails.

Hi Fellow Frameworkers 
I’m part of batch 4 as I waited to preorder with the idea the first few batches would help dial things in. Mine’s a Ryzen 5 and will run Linux (likely Debian/Ubuntu, though I’m also intrigued by QubesOS).
I picked up a Crucial P3 Plus drive b/c their price to performance is hard to beat. If I took a no limit approach, a 2tb Sabrent Rocket 4 Plus was my top pick. Seems to compare favorably to the Sammie 990 Pro @Uwe_Fechner linked to.
I’ve got an older Anker 60W usb-c brick but have been eyeing this as a multi-port replacement: Anker Prime 67W 3 port charger.
I’ve got a Sonnet 550 egpu box with a RX580 I’ll be using for video rendering and light gaming.
My preorder included 2x8GB sodimms. However it now looks like 2x16GB cost the same or less on the open market. I’d like to support the home team but may alter my order.
What would you do?

I also pre-ordered 2x8GB (Batch 4 team represent). I’d think of removing them, but don’t want to make any order changes and potentially lose my place in line. Were I doing it over again, I’d probably just order 2x16 from an online retailer.
Since Batch 3 emails just started going out 4-5 days ago, and suggested up to 4 weeks to ship all Batch 3 orders, I’d expect late November for the Batch 4 orders to start shipping.
I may go for that Crucial P3 Plus drive. Considering this is not going to be a gaming machine for me, seems perfectly great for desktop app needs.

Idk how to reply to a specific topic but AMD Batch 4 Guild - #27 by linuxlion
Replying to that comment you can send the customer service team a email to change your ram to no ram and buy your own

Thanks for the suggestion @Actyst . I just messaged support myself for the same reason as a result. I requested they only remove the RAM if it doesn’t affect my place in line. We’ll see how it goes!

Framework support very quickly responded and removed the RAM from my preorder, and assured me it won’t affect my place in the queue for Batch 4. Awesome customer service. I’ll definitely be purchasing 32GB (2x16GB) based on the best deal once I get a shipping notification for the laptop.

Very excited to see that 3.03 is clearing up some of the Linux concerns out there. Can’t wait!

Same here! 3.03 is correcting some issues and Fedora 39 should be out of beta soon (if it isn’t already). It’s all coming together, lol.

Nice, framework has great customer service
Also randomly found how to quote
I was excited to order this back in May for what it is. But it’s also been surprisingly fun to watch this community of like minded enthusiasts come together! 
In other news, I just ordered my RAM (Crucial RAM 16GB DDR5 5600MT/s CT16G56C46S5) on Amazon this morning since it hit a new low. From what I’ve gathered, this one seems compatible and doing fine. Just got a single 16 GB stick for now and I’ll order a second in the future if needed. (I know performance would be better with two, but I’m not doing any gaming or heavy work on this thing.)

Hey Buds!
I have a batch 5 11th gen i5 running fedora and I’ve been waiting for the ryzen to upgrade. So glad that they’re finally coming!

I am excited to hear that Batch 3 is preparing. Already got my nvme drive and ram ready. I also had my first impressions on 12th gen Intel Framework 13. It real solid device, installation and setup was pretty straight forward, at least for a tech savy person like me. Do you guys and gals have any recommendations on which sleeve to get?

Woohoo!
We’re preparing Batch 4 of Framework Laptop 13 (AMD Ryzen™ 7040 Series)! Please review your info.
We’re preparing to ship Framework Laptops in your batch! Thanks for your patience as we worked through development and testing. We have a subset of Batch 4 products currently in inventory in our warehouse, and we’ll be producing the rest over the next few weeks.
