I think my experience is in line with what other people have said. I’m on Windows 10 with screen brightness set as low as possible and the power mode set to ‘Better battery’. With a few tabs open on Firefox and no video playing, it seems like it’d get around 7-8 hours which is fine. If I have a video going then it drops to 4-6ish hours. I usually have Microsoft Word open as well, but that doesn’t seem to have much effect on battery life for me. I tried playing League of Legends and it ran beautifully but the battery estimate dropped to 2 hours, and it lost maybe 10% during a 20 min match. Since my use case leans more towards light work and browsing, battery life isn’t a major problem. Typing this on the Framework now - the keyboard feels so springy and satisfying!
Got mine all setup now. I set the time and date and the battery charge to max 90%. I applied this strategy to my Mate 10 Pro phone (no overnight charging and charge to max 90%) and I still have 93% charge after 3 and a half years.
I installed Windows 11 Pro on it and used the latest Win 11 driver pack and then went to Intel for any newer drivers. There were three.
All working nice and smooth. The WD SN850 is pumping out 6775MBps in Read and 5200MBps in Writes. The Kingston 3200 CAS 20 ram works just fine. I did put a 1.5mm SSD thermal pad on top of the SSD. 64C is as hot as I’ve seen it go.
Running the Heaven Benchmark at 1080p gave me an average of 39FPS and a Passmark Benchmark score of 3744. The CPU/2D/3D are all middling scores but the RAM got 3157/75th Percentile and the DiskMark got 42241 99th percentile so it’s not the ram or SSD that are holding the machine back. Irony as in most laptops those two are usually the worst parts.
I’m a happy bunny. 
Nah, just one that came with a NVMe caddy I didn’t use.
By the way…what the hell do you click on to make a reply to a post? So much modern forum software is awful IMO.
Drove me crazy at first, too - you just select the text you want to quote and then click on the transparent “Quote” button. This could definitely be made more obvious and intuitive.
I always use the hyperlink of the post I want to reply to and copy-paste it into my reply. The forum software then automatically changes it to a quote… Not the most straight forward approach though…
Edit: @Oliver’s way is a bit more intuitive, but apparently not enough for me to have found it…
Ahhh 'Designed by Millennials" in other words. 
I kid!
What’s wrong with a ‘Reply’ button…you know like every other forum software? 
We always used to get our boomer Mums and Dads in to test stuff. If they couldn’t work it out we went back and tried again.
I’m speechless. 
I eventually got fed-up and had to google this.
I actually found the little tutorial offered by @discobot (in your PM inbox) pretty nice to get familiar with how everything works. (Still wish things like replying would be more obvious.)
Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
You can also select the text and press the reply button on the bottom. 
Would be good to get some standardised benches listing what CPU/RAM and SSD to see how the different combinations stack up.

There you go folks see how yours compares.
My shipment has been sitting on “There’s a delay with your parcel at our sortation facility” for a couple of days now so I decided to contact DPD for more info. Got this delightful email back from them 
Lord please don’t let it be true. This is upsetting to me.
So I was checking Linex and it said it was forwarded from gateway yesterday at 13:50. I checked hub-ez again, and there is now a DHL Express number! It’s supposed to arrive yesterday sometime before 22:00. It says “Shipment Information received on the 28th”, but no other update, so I’ll believe it when I have it in my hands…
I’ll press my thumbs that we get them tomorrow.
you mean tomorrow?
My guess is that it will be transfered with the flight 3S543 from Singapore to Leipzig and then it will go from there to your delivery hub.
i got my DHL Number too and it says that i will get in on march 4. looks like a realistic date.
Mine finally arrived today, after some faff with DPD attempting on Sunday whilst I was out, me foolishly picking a “pick-up” point which had permanently closed (thanks for still listing that DPD) and DPD rigidly refusing to change a driver’s route whilst they were out)
For the future batches and for posterity my final timeline was:
-
2021-12-17: Ordered, Stage 1 “Pre-order confirmed” -
2022-02-14: Stage 2 “Preparing the batch” - Skipped stage 3 “Preparing your order” for some reason…
-
2022-02-17: Stage 4 “Payment complete” -
2022-02-18: Stage 5 “Shipment notification” -
2022-02-22: Taipei, Shipment Bagged Linex Ti-Ding Ave -
2022-02-23: Taipei, Shipment check weight, Processed for Export -
2022-02-24: UnitedKingdom, Unbagged Shipment Received -
2022-02-26: UnitedKingdom, Custom Release -

I’ve instealled all my guts, got the screen protector on, been through the BIOS out of curiousity, and have a USB loaded with Debian Bullseye, a backported 5.15 kernel and the firmware-iwlwifi ready to go
