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

Mine arrived today (UK).
Liking it, with some caveats:
- No trackpad throughout Windows 11 setup - Easily solved.
- That’s a chunky driver pack to have to install.
- The ‘wobbly’ screen is probably more noticeable when you can see your reflection in it because the movement is exaggerated.
- Mine had some dusty hand / fingerprints on the chassis when it arrived.
- 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.
Confirming. Just arrived and all have a more squared appearance, all the same very small rounded corner, hardly a mm.
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 
but equally I don’t think mine has left Taiwan yet!

Hi and welcome to the forum.
I’ve just received mine in ‘Cornwall’ via the Hinckley depot. From Hinckley, Somerset to Truro, Cornwall and then back the edge of Cornwall near Plymouth.
A round about route but all looks good.

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!

There I was, 2 hours ago unwrapping, only to find a) the wrong keyboard ~ some euro thing not a UK one and b) unable to start as Microsoft won’t install the pre-paid Windows 10 unless I create an account.
UPDATE: Restarted with Wi-Fi off and I then have the option to set up a local account 
Stuck and stuffed
OH and I can’t get through to support on the website, keep getting a CAPTHCA error

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.
Disappointing to hear about the keyboard. Persevere with the webform - reCAPTCHA is a ridiculously unreliable experience It took me three attempts last time. If it helps, I find it’s more reliable on my iPhone than my PC!
Regards Windows, I thought all Windows Home installations had that requirement for ages now, but if you Google a bit there are various ways to get around it…Or just make a dummy Microsoft account. Personally I just use my Microsoft account anyway but then I don’t really understand what people are so worried about!
Welp. Delivery of my laptop failed because they couldn’t get access to my building. Sigh. Never mind.
Mine arrived a few hours ago, just finished setting it up.
Dual boot windows 10 and ubuntu 20.04
I think i’m going to miss the full number-pad from my current laptop but i’ll soon get over it.
i love the build quality of the framework

The way around it is to ensure Wi-Fi is off during setup then it asks you to create a local account. Should have know and when I set up my Fairphone I ensured Wi-Fi was off to avoid Google gaggle.
Thanks
