Have you received an email, been charged, received a shipping notification, or already received your FW16 AI-300 series?
Please post:
Your original order date and whether you bought a full laptop or just a mainboard
Your batch (and CPU!)
Your graphics card (if you bought one in the same order)
Any RAM/SSDs ordered (or if you have added them on after the fact)
(If applicable) The date you received your shipping soon notification, your card was charged, that your laptop shipped, and/or when you received it
UPDATES:
6 December: there are people in batch 1 who have received their laptops, and some that have not even been charged. It looks like there are a couple of people in Batch 2 who have received theirs. As far as I’m aware no one in batches 3 or later have received an email or been charged yet.
December 10: Batches 3-5 have been received their batch preparation email
December 13/14: Batches 3-5 have been charged, and will be shipping soon (?) - some people in batches 1 and 2 who have only ordered a mainboard have not been charged for their boards yet
December 16: People in batches 3 and 4 (unsure of 5) have begun receiving shipment notifications and tracking numbers.
December 19: Batches 6-9 have begun to receive their batch preparation emails.
December 21: Batches 6-9 have been charged for their remaining balance, and should ship soon
I Pre-Ordered Mine on September 8th: So I’m also in batch 4
I got the DIY Kit AMD Ryzen AI 9
Opted to get only the Expansion Bay Shell (No Graphics)
32 GB RAM/2 TB SSD
Also Havent heard anything from Framework
(I did sort of wish The Framework Team Themselves ended up doing a Batch Tracker of sorts, just to make things simpler without us guessing when it could come. but oh well, hopefully one of the mods sees this)
Worked very well to inference arrival time with the First gen Framework 16. There was a Google Sheets file with updates from users, you could filter by country, batch etc…
@AnxiousDavid is correct, at least some members of batch 2 have had their mainboards or laptops shipped (or that have arrived), at least based on this thread. Oddly enough, there are people in batch 1 who haven’t. It’s not clear if this is some specific error with one or two orders.
