So we received the batch preparation email on the 7th of March, while for the last batch it was on the 10th of February. A little bit earlier, but we don’t have East Asian New Year in the beginning of March anyways. Without being overly optimistic, I would say everything is on the good track.

Pre-ordered an i7-1165G7 DIY Edition with German keyboard, will bring my own RAM (2x32GB Crucial) and SSD (2TB WD 850). I have a 13" 2013 MBP Retina which is still my daily driver. I am dual booting Mac OS Big Sur and Windows 10 Pro (Bootcamp) for now, in the future I want to ditch the dual boot and have one OS on each laptop, maybe also boot a Linux distro from the 1TB expansion card.

Yeah I think there have been a few and the only consistent negative has been about bounce on the hinges.

I emailed framework about this a while ago and this was the response I got:
(my order is shipping to the uk)

Hi Rambo,

Thank you for your inquiry and we are more than happy to assist you.

We aren’t currently able to provide order-specific ship date estimates narrower than the month the Batch ships in due to a number of factors. We’re definitely working to improve the end-to-end process from order to shipment, and when things are less fluid, we’ll be able to provide more precise shipping dates in the future. Our current process is:

  1. We send an email to everyone in the Batch at the beginning of the month noting that the Batch is in preparation.
  2. A few days before we collect balance of payment on each order, we send an email noting that we’re preparing the order.
  3. We send an email at the time we capture the balance, which is when the order goes to our warehouse for fulfillment.
  4. Finally, we send a shipping email with the tracking number when the order leaves the warehouse.
    ​

    ​Thank you for your inquiry and please, have a great day!
    Regards,
    Framework Support

No need to apologise having community spirit and offering guidance is what this community is here for. I just wanted to add the note so no one is mistaken into thinking the framework laptops will have limited support for common devices.

I just missed out on batch 9 with the i5. Has anyone come across being upgraded from to an earlier batch? My partner is going to come visit me in Aus and would love for it to be there for her to bring

Did everybody receive the batch preparation email? I ordered mine on 22 February to Austria and I haven’t received any emails beyond my order confirmation

The clarification that @derjanb gave is important though because the Framework does not support SATA M.2 drives, only PCIe ones, so depending on which specific Samsung drive you have it may or may not work- you didn’t actually say which one you have.

Edit:
Oh, just looked up my mails and i also got the shipping preperation 2 days ago. Cool :slight_smile:
