Hope it would be right around black friday!
It looks like they’re currently emailing Batch 4, so I’m keeping an eye on the Batch 5 thread. Things seem to be moving pretty quickly!
That’s not necessary the case. Batch 9 could ship end of december so batch 8 could be shipped middle of december.
But I think every week one batch will be shipped from now on so ours could get shiped end of november.

Here is my very non professional opinion on the charger.
Voltage drops a little with a 100w load to 19.42V on a 6ft 240w cord. My volt meter is nothing special so there is probably error in that reading.
Voltage looks stable no major spikes again my oscilloscope is a low dollar one and I’m not an expert.
The charger is grounded and has a 1m ohms resistor in line.
Overall I think it’s good I may buy a second one.
The charger is heavier than I thought it would be so I may still buy the framework one for better portability.

Im glad that they are starting to feel reachable but by golly by jove it still feels so long away.
Reminder, if you have any changes you want to make to your order, contact support ASAP!

You might want to read the thread again, they’re saying batch 6 is getting emails, not 7

I think you nailed it (also been watching the reddit posts and someone makes a graph of this every time a new batch gets an email) haha
10 days to our notifications, then everyone desperately checking for new emails for shipping notification 
I imagine that Batch 7 would get their emails by the end of next week and then hopefully Batch 8 by weeks end the following week. I see Batch 8 potentially arriving in peoples hands by the end of the month, beginning of December.
Maybe a day or two off, but who’s counting? Oh wait, we all are

That is embarrassing, you are right xD
Yeah, I think there is alway a small delay between first email and actual shipping. Hopefull we will be delivered 1st week of december
I’m waiting for my Ryzen 5 DYI with 2x8GB RAM and 500GB storage offered by FW. Expansion cards 2xC 1xA and 1xHDMI. I like the idea of being able to connect to a monitor without a dongle.
Will use the FW mainly for work (web, email, writing notes and LaTeX), but also for my occasional hobby programming and Linux-exploration.
I have a full PC, it’s good and also for games, but I really lack the ability to work while not at home or at work
And since I always hated the poor build and awful maintainability of my previous laptops (that’s why I got a PC in the first place), and as the new AMD-FW seems to have a good performance and battery life, the question was not if I get one, but rather when I’ll get one

Hello dear guild members, things seem to be progressing quite quickly after all. How nice! 
I’m expecting the AMD Ryzen 7 7840U mainboard and a WiFi module, nothing more. Because I’ve had a - much-loved - Framework laptop running Fedora Linux for a year and a half now, and I want to give it more power with the AMD CPU than with the small Intel i5. The Intel mainboard should then become a small desktop computer.
Fun fact: I already had a Ryzen 5 mainboard on the order list and would have been included in batch 2. The fact that I then changed my mind shortly before delivery in favour of the Ryzen 7 board threw me back to batch 8.

Hello! I’ll chime in.
Side note: Macbook Pros and Microsoft Surfaces are great machines, I’ve used both extensively. But 8GB RAM and a 256GB SSD as standard config is embarrassingly backwards - it hasn’t changed in 10+ years. And the gouging when you try and add more storage, with apple or microsoft, is eye watering… especially in aussie dollars.
So! I’m going AMD 7840U, 32GB (2x16) DDR5-5600, and BYO-ing a 4TB Lexar NM790 SSD. Adding a 1TB storage expansion plus 1TB cards in MicroSD storage expansion. 6TB of internal storage - hooray! My Sony A1 camera can get through about 0.5TB in a busy day, so finally I’ll have a laptop that can keep up when away from my big desktop, without constantly resorting to slow and damage-prone spinning disk USB HDDs.
I’m going to put Linux on, as Windows is getting too creepy. The Lexar NM790’s controller is unfortunately only supported in linux kernel version 6.5.5+, which is very recent, so I’ll go with Fedora 39, which has kernel 6.5.9 by default. It sounds promising, and I think I’ll try the KDE “spin”, as it looks useful. However, I like Ubuntu, so when 24.04 LTS comes out next year with kernel 6.6+ I’ll most likely switch to that.
With luck the AMD 7040 might just be the first CPU/GPU combo that can handle the 8K 10-bit 4:2:2 H265 videos (at 520mbit/sec) that my Sony A1 makes. My M1 Pro mac laptop, and my 11th gen intel + RTX3070 windows desktop, completely crap themselves - have to use proxies and transcode down. So far, I’ve found only an M2 Ultra mac desktop has been able to handle playing the originals back smoothly, but the specs on the hardware acceleration in the Radeon 780M make me hopeful… as long as they included the 4:2:2 profile.
Cheers!
