Batch 9 Guild

Framework Laptop 13
6

Hi !

I’m also on batch 9, I hope it will arrive before April in France because I will be away in April :sweat_smile:

I ordered exactly the same as Leon, but I will use Ubuntu.
This new laptop is actually the opportunity for me to go back to Linux that I left 10 years ago.

Hello my choices are:
i5
16GB Ram (My own one)
512GB Nvme ssd (My own one)
OS: Gentoo (GNU+Linux)

I am really looking forward to receiving this laptop and creating a fully libre machine as Richard Stallman wanted 40 years ago.

Hi !
From France too, batch 9. Hoping it will arrive soon, can’t wait to get my hands on it !

  • i5 1135G7
  • 16 Gb
  • 500 Gb storage
  • 2 USB C
  • 2 USB A
  • 1 HDMI
    (DIY edition)
    I will use it with fedora 35 only (don’t want to waste time with windows).
    I am just a bit concerned about battery life, but it should be manageable by tweaking.

HELLO PEOPLE !
Batch 9 joining from France.

I’ll first try a dumb Windows, and see if a good old Linux Mint wouldn’t be as good in terms of battery life for the uses I have.
(freaking Win11 wanting to make me create an account and stuff :triumph:)

My DYI config :
Spec :

  • i5 1135G7
  • 1 x 16GB

Cards:

  • 1 x USB-A
  • 1 x Display Port (oh good Lord I needed this)
  • 1 x HDMI
  • 1 x MicroSD

Hope I’ll get my hands on it before the end of March :crossed_fingers:

Got one with:

Epansion Cards

  • 1 Displayport
  • 1 HDMI
  • 1 MicroSD

Not sure which cards i’ll end up daily driving but having the others in the bag will be nice.

Is there any indication of when batch 9 might get processed/ sent out? Any status page we can follow? Will diy kits be sent earlier as they don’t need assembly? My main laptop has just bricked itself.

@artfulrobot - this is more or less the only status page we got.

From what I’ve seen from the other guilds, it is always sent in the second half of the month.

Generally seems to start in the middle of the month, Batch 8 has slipped over into March a little because of public holidays in Taiwan. We haven’t managed to find any pattern at all in the order in which orders were fulfilled in Batch 8 - it doesn’t appear to be quite as organised into sub-batches as American batches were.

Woohoo, pre ordering from The Netherlands is now available. Seems I am the first one ordering from The Netherlands, but currently I am living in Bali. So I hope it will be delivered before my parents will fly end of March😊

Mostly the same config as @Daniel_Dolezal

DIY edition

  • i7-1185G7
  • 32GB Ram (2x 16)
  • 1TB - SN850

Expansion cards

  • 2 USB-C
  • 1 HDMI
  • 1 USB-A

After 10 years being in love with Google Chromebooks I am curious if we can make a decentralized / distributed web 3.0. For me it’s primarily not about earning cryptocurrency, but sharing the abundance of computing power when I don’t need it myself. I hope to see a future where tools such as Wikipedia can work this way. So I am happy to see a more open source ecosystem with framework.

Can’t wait to have it in my hands and joining the framework experience journey together with this community.

DIY i5 order from the Netherlands here

The order itself is pretty barebones:

  • No RAM (adding my own 2x16 kit)
  • No SSD (looking at 2TB, even the WD blacks are a lot cheaper to just get here)

For the expansion cards:

  • 1 USB-C
  • 2 USB-A
  • HDMI
  • MicroSD

Also looking to make a DIY magnetic charging expansion card following some of the forum posts here (Full Power Magnetic Charging Card).

Really excited to get my hands on such a beautiful product from a company with an amazing concept!

I ordered the DIY version to the UK as a work Laptop.

I went for a barebones config as well:

  • i5-1135G7
  • Adding my own RAM (2x8GB 3200MHz)

Both RAM and SSD worked out a little cheaper from Amazon

Expansion Cards:

  • 1x Display Port
  • 1x MicroSD
  • 1x USB-A
  • 1x USB-C
  • 2x HDMI
