ok now i am beginning to be a bit worried. I ordered the i5 DIY with 7 expansion cards, no RAM, no SSD and no powerbrick on 18. January and am still in stage 2. Maybe my assumption that minimum orders get shipped earlier was wrong then :upside_down_face:

@Rebekka_Riedlinger I am in the same boat. Ordered January 15, i7-1165 with 5 expansion cards and no ram, no ssd, no brick. Still only got the ā€œbatch shipmentā€ email.

@Rebekka_Riedlinger @Tobias_Manske keep hope! Iā€™m in the same boat and I suspect itā€™s going to be fine. We might only get the payment email at the end of the month but people are still getting through and posting. Itā€™s going to be fine.

@Tobias_Manske This is interesting. My assumption was that all i7-1165 orders placed in February were batched together, given that most orders that made it past stage 2 were either i5 or i7-1185 and the one i7-1165 thatā€™s being past stage 3 that we know of was ordered in January. Probably the i7-1165 is harder to come by?
Iā€™m not really in a hurry, itā€™s the excitement of getting a new laptop

I think there have been lots of theories about the order allocation i personally just think its the order date that defined it so February orders will be towards the end of the batch.

i am on the same boat with you too but just Order Status Pre-Order Confirmed here

After I ordered a DIY with i5-1135G7 on 2022-03-08T23:00:00Z (to Germany), the follow up mails came rather quick (judging by other posts here):

  • Stage 3: 2022-03-15T23:00:00Z
  • Stage 4: 2022-03-16T23:00:00Z
  • Stage 5: 2022-03-17T23:00:00Z

The laptop is currently in Singapore.


Full specs:

  • CPU: IntelĀ® Coreā„¢ i5-1135G7
  • Keyboard: British English
  • EU Power Brick
  • No SSD
  • No RAM
  • Expansion cards: 1x DP, 1x USB-A, 2x USB-C, 2x HDMI

When did you get the stage 2 (batch preparation) email?

Hi all,

only four days after the ā€œshippedā€ mail I got my package today. Had no time to unpack yet, but it finally arrived.

Regards,
Sebastian

Hm, all this talk about stages, and I havenā€™t seen any followup mails at all (ordered Feb 23), so I guess that means Iā€™m in stage 1? Or 0? :slight_smile: But it seems no orders to the Netherlands have been followed up yet, so I guess theyā€™re either ordering by country, or not 100% ready for .nl yet. Weā€™ll see.

Would have been nice to have the laptop already, since my previous thinkpad X201 stopped working last friday, just powered off while working and never came on again (tried some CPR, but no luck, seems it finally succumbed to 12 years of day-in-day-out use - some parts had already fallen off). Fortunately I could borrow a thinkpad E351 from a friend. With my own SATA disk inserted I can at least just use my own installation, but Iā€™m eager to get the framework, since this thinkpad is bulky (15", pff, why would you want that? :-P).

Interestingly, I donā€™t seem to have gotten that email at all, not even in my spam folder. Maybe I deleted it, but I doubt that.

Oddly, I ordered my i5 on March 12 and was allocated Batch 10 April shipping, but just received an email stage 2. UK. i5 was supposedly sold out when I ordered.

Uk here, ordered the i5 version on feb 1, still no update beyond the stage two notification :/. Iā€™ve been reading that people who ordered much later are getting theirs shipped already, so I am getting lowkey worried.

@Moe_Wigs just out of curiosity what did the rest of your order look like

I ordered a DIY i5 March 11th (but late at night so the pretty much the same date) with 6 cards, power adapter, no ssd/ram/OS

@TibialCuriosity

DIY i5, 5 cards, power adapter, no ssd, ram or os.

Ordered 5th February, dispatched from Taiwan to the UK on 15 March, no tracking updates since the 16th though :frowning:
