Just saw that all orders from Australia (Batch 4) are starting to ship 1260p laptops (emails with preparing the order were sent on the 1st of October), while some Batch 3 are not yet fulfilled. Good news for the aussies. Bad news for the EU unlucky customers.
If English is not your primary language you might not be as inclined to participate/complete. Or in different countries different profiles of customers might be buying in different proportions (geek vs business person etc.). Or the weather is different and people have better things to do and forget to update, or âŚ
⌠itâs pretty given that there will be per-country/region/language differences.
Iâm happy for you. Iâve seen all sorts of behavior in communities youâd never expect stuff like this to happen. All it takes is one person that e.g. doesnât like French people and now they are creating fake entries just to mess with them. One person. All it takes.
Iâm not saying that this is what is happening. Iâm saying - take everything with a grain of salt.
It is 100% sure that not everyone fill the spreadsheet ofc.
Plus, lines in the document tend (not saying all) to come from impatient people (like waiting for a Christmas gift) to increase a potential data mining allowing them to predict their delivery.
NB: Some culture are complaining more than others too
Overall not a bad tool, a nice one, but totally inaccurate.
got step 3 today!
I received my Framework on 9/19 and I have had it about 2 weeks now. The packaging of it was decent however, there was some like residue from the factory it seemed. At first I thought it was a scratch which I would have been very unhappy with. I just used isopropyl alcohol to wipe it away luckily.
After using it daily, I can definitely say I would like some more battery life out of it. I always have
a charger handy and I mostly use it with a thunderbolt docking station with 2x 1440p monitor set up. It has performed very well for all the tasks I needed. I tried gaming on a light game for the lols but it wasnât very playable. I only specâd it with the i5-1240p since I am hopeful for an AMD variant to come soon. I did put a Samsung 980 Pro 1TB and 16GB of Kingston Fury CL20 RAM as well with an extra slot for another 16gb later down the line.
Aside from the battery life, the one major gripe I have is with the trackpad. There are times where I will try to go and click but the cursor will move about 2 cm down and to the left. It can be very frustrating at times. Usually happens when I am moving around fast so I havenât had the chance to slow down and record it happening. I am not sure if this is just a driver issue or if my trackpad is defective. Has anyone ever experienced this?
I tracked down this forum post but it does look like its the same issue I am experiencing.
I did the same thing However I donât think an AMD board will be available for some time.
I read somewhere else that the graphics performance only works at 100% when both memory slots are used.
Good to know. I will definitely be exchanging the 1 stick for the 2 stick bundle instead. Thanks for pointing that out!
Did it work out? I can imagine the copper pads might work, but how will that ssd cooler going to fit into the frame?
Yea, the ssd cooler was too tall, but the copper pads worked well. I have had a work pile on so all I have done is get ubuntu installed and a few settings adjusted. I havenât done any benchmarking. Also, I purchased, and intended to use, the paste on the cpu, but when I opened it I decided not detach the fan (because it looked so perfect lol). I can always do that in the future since everything is replaceable!
I found this guyâs video to explain how to install the cooling equipment but he also goes into the theories about the heating on the newer model ssds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LtlMqxfAG00 ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V7jk6tAq3Lg
i just receive my laptop it is mounted and is charging
After a long long wait (of 48 days), Iâve finally gotten my email about preparing to ship. Although I was very close to canceling, canât wait for the laptop to arrive
Spreadsheet updated.
In the UK, just received my step 3 email. Looking forward to now receiving this , and have updated spreadsheet
3 Days past the initial expected delivery date. Says âAt local FedEx facilityâ. Extremely frustrating. Does anyone know if you can pick it up there? Guess I could call them and ask.
Must have talked too soon. It finally arrived.
Iâm one of the group whose shipping date is 2022-Oct-05, and the latest tracking update from Anchorage is âPackage delayed due to some issues during the customs clearanceâ. In the Aftership App there is also an alert saying âContact carrier or shipper at the earliest to resolve the issue. Carrier may return the package to sender if it is not resolvedâ. Are others seeing this, or is this just me?
Iâve got the âEnglish Internationalâ keyboard. Donât think that is really a special or different keyboard, anyhow Iâm still patiently waiting. Would like to receive it soon though, it would be nice to have a new and working laptop.
Same here, got the email yesterday.
I had just sent an email to support to request an update on the delay, asking for a more detailled explanation compared to their last commâŚ
They responded with pretty much the same answer, that they ship âexcessâ SKUs to batch 4. Which Iâm still not convinced is the full picture, as weâve seen the same motherboard/keyboard combo being shipped to later orders while earlier ones were still waitingâŚ
Unless their definition of SKUs is more encompassing than I imagine, in which case maybe they could adopt a more flexible approach to fulfilling orders to avoid âSKU build-upâ while other SKUs are short on inventory.
Anyway, good luck to everyone still waiting
Just got my âpreparing to shipâ email. Ordered on the first of September. Of course I will be on vacation for the next two weeks. I hope it doesnât come in while I am gone. Wouldâve been nice to have it for vacation . The flight wouldâve been nicer watching shows on the Framework than my phone. Oh well. I should just be glad it is going to be ready soon.
windows 11 and arch linux have been install
it work super
the only problem itâs the brightness key that donât work
