Batch 5 - Intel 12th - Guild

Framework Laptop 13
1

Hello, everyone. I decided I would start the topic since I am probably one of the first people to get a laptop in batch 5. Very excited to get my laptop. Already have a 1 TB SN770 that I got on sale here (Canada) and a 16GB stick of G.Skill Ripjaws. I plan to try Fedora on it but due to my use of Microsoft Office and Onedrive, we will see how I can manage to get those running. This would be my first time trying to use Linux as my daily driver but if it isn’t viable for work, I’ll just have to switch to Windows 11. Mostly, I will use this for work but I also hope to install some classic or low-demand games on this baby.

Sidenote: I hope that the speaker upgrades come out in time to get it with my laptop.

Another Batch 5 here, Ordered today 10/25 - I went all out on the DYI. I’m going to do 2TB Samsung Pro and 64 GB of Ram. I will never need all of this but I seem to buy a new computer every 8 to 10 years.

Also got the email that they’re getting ready to ship. Decided to ask if they can include a package of those refurbished adaptor cards. Figured I would help the environment and save some money. Debating getting one of the storage options added on. :thinking:

Just got my shipment notification (stage 5). Ordered on October 20th with a minimal DIY (i5, no RAM, no SSD, EU power adapter and a couple of expansion cards).
I’m very surprised by the quick status updates compared to my 11th gen delivery (ordered in December 2021, delivered in the beginning of March 2022 to Germany). Could it be that demand is down and I may be getting an overrun production from Batch 4? Judging by their delivery dates batch 4 shipped the last couple of weeks.

From a reliable source: there’s been a lot of hard work behind the scenes which resulted in production ramping up. It may even reach a point where the laptops are in stock and don’t require a batch system.

They did take the delays in previous batches to heart and wanted to make sure that didn’t happen again.

@nadb you are for sure correct, they are moving fast. I just got my #4 email “payment complete”

I didn’t expect to see this computer until closer to the end of the month by past orders.

Just a notice, Framework shipped mine using Fedex with signature required. Fedex just left a door tag when people were home today and took off.

I have the opposite problem. I was overzealous and sold my old laptop too quickly. And now my laptop hasn’t shipped yet so I’m working exclusively off my desktop. Haha

Ordered 01.11. Received 07.11 (just now. EU/Germany). This is crazy in a good way. My Batch 3 order was close to a month.
