So a surprising package arrived today! The Framework was delivered today. I never got the shipping email but it seems it shipped on Monday (the 29th).
So:
26/10: Ordered the laptop (i5, intel wifi card (no Vpro), 1x 16gb ddr4 3200MHz, 3x USBA, 2x USBC, 1x DP, 1x HDMI, 1x microSD, Power Adapter)
1/11: Preparing to ship batch email.
19/11: Preparing to ship order email.
24/11: Card charged.
29/11: Shipped.
1/12: Arrived!
Interestingly, it still says “Pre-order confirmed” on my account so I would not worry if it says that on your account. I think I’ll have to contact support to have all my invoices even if I already have the laptop. I can’t wait to set it up!
Wow! That’s amazing!
Also really scary xD. My FedEx is not the best, so I really need to make sure that I have shipping info to plan accordingly. Even though the chances are low I still just contacted support to confirm the status of my order xD.
I ordered Oct 13th. I also got an 1165. Order page says pre order confirmed. My card has been charged for a few days now. Still no shipping email in any folder.
I ordered mine 10/21, got my shipping notice at 7:15PM EST with an expected arrival of Friday. As of this morning it’s in Newark NJ, about 20 minutes from my house. My wife works in Newark, too bad there’s no way for her to pick it up up before coming home today. I can wait. Right? I can. I’m an adult. This is me adulting…
Ordered Oct 14th, i7-1165G7, same here: card charged several days ago, no shipping email. I wish there were slightly more communication about what to expect.

If you take a look at the Batch 6 thread, Batch 6 Club, it seems like a bunch of them are already at the “Shipping soon, payment charged” phase like many of us. Maybe with all the shipping delays, exacerbated by Christmas coming up, Framework is having a hard time getting units actually shipped out and so a bunch are stuck at this phase? Just an idea.
I highly doubt framework is having issues, it’s actually further back with one of their manufacturing partners. In the delayed email they said that they are waiting on a part from their partner in Taiwan. Generally if they have charged your card they have a framework laptop in their warehouse waiting for you.
@Josh_Cook Well, that makes sense. And I’m wrong either way, becuase mine just showed up at my door, without me having ever recieved the tracking information! Can’t complain though, I’m too excited!
Original arrival date predicted by FedEx was 12/03, then for a few days they teased me saying it’d arrive early, on 12/01, but it’s now bounced-back to 12/03… one more day…
Anyone else watching tons of Linux Distro comparison videos while waiting for their Framework to arrive? I’ve watched so many… that and unboxing/assembly videos. It’s what I dream about now whenever I sleep…

I checked out a few, knew arch was still going to end up my daily driver though. I did put Fedora 35 KDE respin on first, which has been pretty decent to me so far (12 hours since install roughly). The graphical installer wouldn’t accept physical clicking of the touchpad, so I had to plug in a USB mouse just to set the options in that. However in the full install the touchpad is working fine in 5.14.10 and 5.15.6 kernels (with PS/2 emulation disabled), as is wifi, Bluetooth, suspend, and I even got hibernate mostly working too. Grub has a weird delay in startup but I’ll probably change back to rEFInd eventually anyway. All in all a very smooth install experience…
Im currently tinkering with WSL2 on my Alienware laptop from 201i (it’s what my framework laptop is replacing), currently struggling but in the end, I might dual boot in the end
