According to Linex (thanks for the link) my last status is:

28/02/2022 15:40:00 Singapore Status Flight Arrived

Ordered on 16 Dec to Germany with no RAM/SSD but with a power adapter.

It was in Taipei on the 24/25 and then no update over the weekend.

Same here.
where are the people, who track planes and can tell us, when they will arive?

Really not impressed so far.

The screen rattles/clicks any time I am using the laptop or moving it. It’s really irritating and I can’t find out what’s causing it.

Edit: found out what’s causing it. The bar at the top with the camera just rattles around at the top. Nice.

@devryd mine is also in Singapore now, assuming they take the same route as others in this thread then we can expect them to be on the first flight to Leipzig (through Bahrein) which is tomorrow so it will then arrive in our hands Wednesday at the earliest, depending on how long it takes to sort in Germany.

Have you tried removing the magnetic frame and attaching it again? When I first did that, I noticed that the camera part needed some readjusting/ a little push for a flush fit. Maybe that’ll fix it, mine doesn’t rattle.

Yeah, I did. I have also unscrewed the module and redone it and it seems to have lessened it somewhat, but I can still hear it.

Mine turned up today! Unfortunately I’m away from home though so won’t be able to set it up until the end of the week :smiling_face_with_tear:

Mine arrived today (UK).

Liking it, with some caveats:

  1. No trackpad throughout Windows 11 setup - Easily solved.
  2. That’s a chunky driver pack to have to install.
  3. The ‘wobbly’ screen is probably more noticeable when you can see your reflection in it because the movement is exaggerated.
  4. Mine had some dusty hand / fingerprints on the chassis when it arrived.
  5. I haven’t had too much time with it (because I’m working), but secure boot / changing boot order seems annoying.

And finally…

I again did the thing during Windows setup that lets OneDrive sync the ‘desktop’ folder, which just puts junk icons on my desktop. I’m going to reinstall again later!

Claims there’s been an issue at their sortation facility in Hinckley. Sortation sounds an awful lot like a made up word and Hinckley sounds an awful lot like a made up place.

got mine, but it does not boot nor does the charging LED come on. I’ll follow the guides, but I wanted to ask:

Have other people confirmed the BIOS version is 3.07?

I took a look at my batch one unit, the curve radius is the same on all four expansion slots.

Maybe some random change in manufacturing.

@KingKaz
Checked on mine and they all have the more squared appearance. Is it just the one or is the same on both sides?

It’s just that one. Must be a defect. I have already sent an email off to support, let’s see what they have to say.

Thanks for getting back to me.

Sortation is the process of sorting parcels…
And Hinckley is somewhere near Bristol in the Westcountry. It’s also one of DPD’s main hubs, and the location of their head office.

Shame there’s a holdup for you though :frowning: but equally I don’t think mine has left Taiwan yet!

Mine turned up this morning. All put together and running. Now tuning it all up. The only mod I made at this point was a thermal pad on the SSD. But the ram is running at 3200 and no major issues so far. Construction is fine too. The only thing I would like to change later on would be to swap the glossy panel for a matte one.

I have to say…the speakers sound fine for a laptop.

A happy bunny…so far! :grinning:

Try using a dummy email account like mail@mail.com. It will go “oh dear…use a local account!”

I’m not a Windos guy anymore for ages due to that kind of garbage from MS.
But as far is I saw from several random sources, that’s a new “feature” of Windows and you simply cannot use a local account anymore.
