Even if its DIY they will fully build it and test it on QA and then unbuild it and ship.
Also, just my opinion, don’t use zorin, its old and will just cause more issues then success. Just install ubuntu if you want something ubuntu based.

I also decided to go for the 155H CPU and chose green bezel and USB-C module. No idea if different colors can have influence on the shipping date.
Personally I’ll go “safe” using latest Ubuntu LT 24.04 as I’m already using it on my current laptop and it’s working (almost) perfectly. But as it’s Ubuntu based, I supposed there should not be much difference with Zorin OS.
Batch 2 Intel Core Ultra 5 125H DIY with 2.8k display with Gen 2 Webcam was charged today
Should it be generally assumed that they are fulfilling the orders in the order in which they were placed?
As in orders placed at the beginning of June would start being charge/delivered at the beginning of September and and end of June would be end of September?
I received a shipping email today. The details say the label was created and the ship date hasn’t been determined yet. So they need to take it to Fedex! Hurry up and I’ll buy you some coffee! LOL
WAIT! Nope. Sorry. This shipping email is related to a separate order I just placed earlier this week for an extra FW13 & FW16 backlit keyboards.
I believe that’s one of the factors. If someone else places their order after yours but it has a different configuration and it becomes ready before yours, we would ship it.
Just got ours!
We had an initial issue where the screen wouldn’t turn on at all, not even a brief backlight. After trying a few things in other threads, it turned out that the cable behind the screen was a bit loose; reseating that fixed the issue. Something to keep in mind if you see anything similar.
Excited to start using it!
Got mine today! (July 15th order date.)
Trackpad is the best I’ve used so far for Linux. Keyboard is excellent and I’m loving the new screen. I replaced the thermal paste with Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut Extreme and am running Fedora 40 and it’s great!
I would switch to Honeywell PTM7950. You might start seeing early signs of pump out effect after 6 months.
Seriously ?! I ordered on June 25th and still not shipped It feels more and more like it will be a Christmas present

Right!!1!
Thanks for the tip!
I’m sure it depends on model, config, etc…
I got the 165H with all options DIY.
Out of curiosity, as my birthday is literally in 3 weeks, if I beg, can I get mine shipped so I have it in time?
x12Mike,
It’s still possible. When I pre-ordered my FW16 earlier in the year, once I got the ‘Billing Complete’ e-mail it was shipped pretty fast and got to me in three or four days. It came via air up the West coast of Asia (over Japan) to Alaska, USA. Then came down into the lower-48 to get to me. Thankfully these are coming via ship.
Saying that, I still have not received my ‘Billing Complete’ next stage e-mail yet.
Below is my pre-ordered config. Processor type or options may be contributing to delay. I also entered my pre-order on July 31st so I was probably toward the end of the list as well.
Configuration:
Customization:
Expansion Cards:
*Yes there are eight expansion cards. I am picked up extra options to share between my existing FW16 and my upcoming FW13.
Still waiting for billing/shipping. Here is my conf :
Order date : 25th june
Shpping to France.
I’m bringing my own DDR5 and SSD. Honnestly I wasn’t expecting such a delay as it was not showing Batch 2 since a very long time when I ordered I think. Ordering a framework laptop is a good way to test limits of patience
Seriously, if mine doesn’t ship next week, I’m going to cancel. It’s one thing to have been mislead into waiting all of August, but now we’re almost at the end of September.
Other than the memory, nvme, bezel color and the expansion cards, my config is pretty much the same.
Keeping fingers crossed!
I only noticed one person that mentioned they received theirs also stated the Processor type as 165H. Many of us posting here at the bottom are waiting on the 155H. I’m guessing they may set up their line for one processor type at a time to limit confusion or cross installing the wrong components.
