Batch 1 - Intel 12th - Guild

[SHaKie]

I’m all setup, installed Windows 11 and partitioned my drive ready for Linux, I’m still undecided on which distro, so I’m going to try a few.

Currently installing rEFInd in preparation for multiboot.

FYI, I didn’t update my spec post but I have put a 2TB Seagate Firecuda 530 and 64GB of G.Skill Ripjaws in the machine.

Edit: Forgot to add that I am posting this from my Framework.

Anyone ordered after july 21 and already received a 12th motherboard?

Mine is stuck in Taiwan because of an “Operation Delay”.

You might want to ask in a separate thread. This thread is for people who ordered whole laptops in batch 1 (well before july 21), but in general I think your best bet is to escalate with support on your prior question.

[Rwurdig]

Thanks for the advice, i will do that.

After a long and frustrating ordeal on Monday courtesy of FedEx, I received my Framework today, and… it’s damaged, right out of the box We’ll see how this ends up getting resolved, but I can’t say it’s the magical unboxing experience that I’d hoped for! Super disappointing to say the least.

Fingers crossed for more (safe!) arrivals this week—those of you with laptops in hand, enjoy them for the rest of us!

Edit: Resolution already underway! Thanks to Framework’s support for their super speedy and helpful response–went a long way towards making my rough day a little better! Back into the waiting room I go

Resolution already underway!

Happy to know that you have the problem resolved!
As I imagine, they will send you the part for replacing, right?

It reminds me a bit about the dark era when I need to send back my surface pro for repair, then wait 2 weeks for the repaired one to arrive. Hope that it will never be the case with framework.

My 1280P DIY has finally been shipped today

[lessthanjoey]

Woohoo, out for delivery!

Edit: and it’s here!

I have received and set up my laptop (I5-1240P DIY, 2 * 16 GB ram, bring your own SSD, shipping to the Netherlands).
For anyone in the future, here’s my timeline:

• 19 May - Put in pre-order and cancelled 11th gen laptop ordered the day before
• 18 June - Had support modify order to remove MicroSD expansion card and upgrade from 2 * 8GB to 2 * 16GB ram
• 19 June - Had support modify order again because they forgot to remove the 2 * 8GB ram kit
• 12 July - Received “We’re preparing to ship your batch” email send to everyone in Batch 1
• 22 July - Received “We’re preparing to ship your order” email
• 27 July - Framework tried to charge the remaining price for my laptop, but it failed because my payment provider (iDeal) requires every transaction to be authenticated by the payer at time of withdrawal
• 28 July - I completed the payment
• 29 July - Received “Order has shipped” email with tracking code
• 30 July - Order picked up by FedEx in Taiwan, expected to arrive on the 3rd of August but quickly updated to the 4th of August
• 2 August - Received notification of a delay in shipping, package less than an hour drive away from me, still expected to arrive on the 4th
• 3 August - Package started moving again and arrived around 11:40, a day earlier than expected

I’m currently writing this on my laptop, here’s a few things I learned while setting it up:

• Use the setup guide, most things in this list are also mentioned there
• There’s one screw on the bottom that doesn’t come completely loose, instead clicking when it’s released. This is normal.
• Insert the expansion cards until you hear a click, they’ll be ever so slightly recessed. Else you’ll pull out the card instead of your USB stick.
• Plug in the charger before turning the laptop on for the first time, else it won’t do anything
• Make sure to download the Windows 11 driver package for 12th gen, not 11th gen. There’s no 12th gen drivers for Windows 10.
• Enter the BIOS from boot using F2 and do a one-time override of the boot device using F12 while booting. I expected del and F10, but those don’t work.

I hope everyone receives their order soon and enjoys their new laptop!

@Marro64 Wow, mine was picked up 3 days earlier than yours and still hasn’t arrived, I’m jealous!

Any Canadians received their laptop yet?

Could someone confirme the biggest flaws of 1st generation are fixed with this 2022 FW?
Mainely : Rtc failure, wifi signal, module power drawn of 1,5w/h

Hardware known to not work on framework V1, must be fixed on V2 (12th gen)

I am excited of receiving my new framework laptop. I have been waiting for the second generation to have the debugged experienced. Browsering a lot the forum, here is the I understand needing to be fixed / checked on this revision, in order of importance / severity. Most of them are hardware related, users seems to just want the same level of feature they are custom with previous laptops : RTC battery failure The laptop doesn t start for unknown reasons when unpluged pluged. 1’) Wifi 2.4G…

Haven’t received mine yet. It used to be scheduled to deliver on the 4th August, but currently the package is stuck in Winnipeg since 11 AM because of a “Clearance delay”. Hopefully it won’t be stuck too long so that it can arrive as intended tomorrow.

@ConfuSomu

the package is stuck in Winnipeg

Same, with a new scheduled delivery date of “Pending”.

Big sad.

Mine is still saying expected delivery today (changed from “before 12:00” to “end of day”), but it also just left Indianapolis at 9 am, so I’m not holding my breath.

Edit: Now it’s in Memphis.

Got my laptop last night. Had to visit the local FedEx Express depo because I missed the delivery by 5 minutes. This is the first time FedEx has ever asked for a signature. My experience with FedEx’s “signature required” has been completely ignored by the delivery person.
Installed Linux Mint and getting things set up now. Woot.

I guess our laptops were on a date Walking in Memphis…

Just checked now and it’s in Winnipeg… the fuinny thing is it had to pass over canada to get to Indinapolis in the first place… at least it is in canada now…

Welp, my laptop (en route to San Francisco) has been stuck in customs in Alaska for 5 days now. Called FedEx and they said it’s in a queue and they don’t have any ETA of release. Has anybody else’s gotten through Alaska?

10 feet off of Beale!

Mine’s made it to Winnipeg also, with an updated delivery date of today before noon. I do not live in Winnipeg. I have to admit, this is some of the most detailed tracking I’ve ever seen - usually with Canada post things arrive before the info is even updated.
