Ok, got my first email " Weā€™re preparing to ship your order!
Please review your info."
Was very happy until I read it. They say Iā€™m the chosen one to get my order shipped ~ 2nd week of September:

Just for the record: itā€™s a 1165G7 DIY to Ontario, Canada.

Thanks again, Framework peeps. I very much appreciate the update - even if it isnā€™t what I wanted, youā€™ve successfully reset my expectations. :grin:

ā€œā€¦ we plan to ship it to you by the second week of September. Weā€™re upgrading your shipping to 2nd Day for free to speed up delivery too.ā€

In the preparing to ship email it says the laptop was delay because there are improvements they want to make from batch 1ā€™s customer feedback. Is that true? And if so what are the improvements you guys made? If it is not true why is it 2 weeks delayed?

Improvements around the first four issues in Known issues on early Framework Laptops are the main changes that we made during the pause between production batches. An improvement for the fifth issue is rolling into units we are producing now for future shipments.

Do all batch two devices have fixes for the first four issues or was it just for the people that had ā€œcurrently in productionā€ part in the shipment preparation email?

Just got my i5 that I preordered in May running Fedora. Laptop is a dream. Excellent job by Framework. Looking forward to continue supporting your mission in whatever way possible.

Been there, done that. Itā€™s so annoying to have your computer lose power if someone so much as sneezes near the charger. Would your laptop happen to be an HP? My old junker is one.

I just got that 2 hours ago, youā€™re not alone buddy. for those keeping score, I ordered the I7-1165G7 on 28th of July for those keeping score.

It varies based on the fix. The last units that got pushed into early September have fixes for all of the items (I have to double check, but I think actually the fifth issue too). Other systems built for Batch 2 would have either some or all. All of the Batch 2 units for example have either the tape for the Touchpad Cable pre-applied or placed in an envelope in the box. Almost all have the updated thermal paste and updated Touchpad alignment. The Touchpad physical click is a testing procedure improvement, though we are not confident we have found the true root cause.

Yup, just got the first delivery email for by second week of September delivery. Tbh Iā€™m happy to get the email at all now ā€“ and itā€™s quite a nice consolation to have production issues fixed.

I got my first email as well last night. I had a July 27th order for 1165G7, and the email states shipping the second week of September. :smiley:

Nice work making those modifications and still being on top of batch 2 Framework team. \m/

Nope, itā€™s a very nice Samsungā€¦I just didnā€™t use it for long enough that the battery discharged, and about the time I discovered that, I found out about this. It was 100% my fault, haha


FedEx was able to find their way to my door this afternoon!!! Yaaas!!

Here are a few moreā€¦ All the components were packaged in their own pouch. It came with Crucial ram. It looks they added some Kapton style tape for the touchpad. That was in a white envelop. Now, back to work :wink:

Yippee, Just got a security check-in msg from my credit card asking if I had made a large payment to Framework.

Seconds later the Framework email arrived saying they changed my card and my unit would ship in 1-2 days. i7-1165G7 btw, ordered July 23rd

Almost time for cueing up the HappyDance mix.


Side note about FedEx, they just dropped off a small wooden crate of aircraft parts to us, broken up & open - 4 days later than they said delivery would be. Situation normalā€¦ Sigh. Doing inventory on the contents now. Such a crap shipping company in recent years.
