I keep checking my email even though I know I’ll get a notification when they send an email and I probably wont be hearing anything before Thursday anyways

I’m hoping that this is one of those times where no news has been good news.

Same. Even though I’m batch 15, I’m just excited for the clock to start so i can start figuring out when to expect mine.
I know they said they’re supposed to get the heatsinks this week, hopefully that means today. Then they’ll start production right away. I would imagine literally all of the other components are ready, so it’s just assembly at that point which should go fairly quickly I would imagine.
I am hoping we get some reviews this week to quell our thirst for news…
I would think they’ll have to first test this batch of heatsinks out but from what I understand from the last email, they will likely just take their chances and start production right away and hope everything is fine when they are doing QC benchmarking/stress tests for those first units.

I’d honestly be fine if they start up slow and make sure things are right. I am hoping to get my tax return before they charge my card for my B6 order. Here’s to Framework working fast, but the US Gov working faster. >_> I guess I shouldn’t hold my breath on that.

Yeah…don’t bet on the US Gov being fast about anything. XD

lol you better file that today then. The irs takes 6-8 weeks minimum to issue a refund. they are so understaffed however that it is more like 12-14 weeks. (a CPA speaking)

I have done similar purchases over the years, primarily Black Friday sales and HP laptops.
But taking it into perspective, the value of the dollar has declined quite a bit over 15-20 years. That makes the Framework laptop a lot more palatable to me.
Divide the Framework’s price by 2 and it looks a lot nicer.
I literally have 2 HP X360 laptops that are fine except for memory, speed, and keyboards. Some keys on each of those two keyboards have become erratic or failed to register at all.
I did upgrade both to SSDs and both are 16 GB ram, but that is just not enough anymore.
And a Framework, which I have ordered, solves all those problems.
Keyboard replacement on the FW? 2 minutes? HP, kinda really tough and also expensive.
I can’t wait…but am waiting anyway.
laden or unladen? These details matter!

Holy crap, gov’t won the race by miles … I got my return 5 days ago. Was expecting next month. Yay! I can afford my FW16 now. Still weirded out that the IRS did something within one week though. That’s mad fast for the US gov’t.

Congrats man. I filed mine the day first day I could, still waiting for the IRS to even approve it. Some years I get lucky and get it within a couple of weeks.

That is highly unusual. did you use that new personal efile system or turbo tax
Rather off topic…
But personally I use https://www.freetaxusa.com/, once I hit file it goes pretty quick. I pay for the State filing, but Federal is free for virtually everybody. Just need to wait for one more paperwork item and I can file and be done with it.
well i use the free fill-able forms and then NY I do by hand. But I’m a CPA so it’s not too much trouble for me. I always could use the work system but i like to keep personal things off work machines.
