Hi everyone,

I’m in Batch 3 and I just received the email from Framework that they’re preparing to ship my pre-order:

We’re preparing to ship pre-orders in your batch!

Your order is shipping soon! The outstanding balance will be charged in 3-18 days, and the order will be shipped 1-3 days after payment is complete.

I placed the pre-order on August 27 and I last modified it on November 13, when I added the RAM (initially, I thought I would buy the RAM locally, but I saw the prices starting to go up and also thought about potential warranty issues, so I decided it’s best to buy it from Framework).

I’m a bit scared that I might not get it before Christmas, since it says “3-18 days” for charging the rest of the amount on my card, after which another “1-3 days“ for shipping, but we’ll see how it goes.

My configuration:

  • System: AMD Ryzen™ AI 300 Series - Ryzen™ AI 9 HX 370
  • Expansion Bay Module: Expansion Bay Shell
  • no dGPU
  • Memory: DDR5-5600 - 96GB (2 x 48GB)
  • no storage
  • Power Adapter: Power Adapter - 240W - EU/KR

Customization

  • Laptop Bezel: Framework Laptop 16 Bezel - Orange
  • Keyboard: US English (2nd Gen)
  • Numpad: Numpad Module (2nd Gen)

Expansion Cards

  • USB-C (Aluminum)
  • 2 x USB-C (Orange)
  • 2 x USB-A
  • HDMI (3rd Gen)
  • DisplayPort (2nd Gen)
  • Ethernet
  • SD
  • Audio
  • 250GB (2nd Gen)

I also got the batch preparation email a few hours ago (10 December, batch 4- to see my config, check the comment I’m replying to)

I also received an email about my batch 3 5070 (which I placed as a separate order, rather than delaying the whole thing)…

I’m chagrin to buy an 8 gb graphics card in 2025 but I fear prices soaring again so I just went for it…

General update: according to this post by a framework employee on Reddit, batches 3-5 received their preparation emails today. I haven’t seen anyone from batch 5 chime in yet, so I wanted to include that.

Please, framework, post updates like this on your own forum and not just Reddit!

Awesome to hear there is an update on batch 3(-5!?), at least things are moving. Was hoping to get this before Christmas, but it looks like I can rest assured it won’t arrive while I am out of the country over the holidays…

How can they be preparing Batch #3 if they have not even completed Batch #2 yet? I am in Batch #2 and no email and card still not charged…strange

I was wondering if you and the others still waiting on the older batches had been included… looks like you might have to email support.

I’m in batch 1 for the same Ryzen, got my Nov 16 email, but have not received anything else about a delay. Still waiting to be charged for my mainboard.

I have a batch 3 and I got the notification today!

Yes, it is a mystery and baffling how they can be preparing Batch #3 if they have not even fulfilled orders for Batch #1 and Batch #2…very strange, unless they have combined batches we have not been made aware of.

Just got the email!!
