Same here, mentioned it in my post: FW 16 AMD-AI-300 (all batches) shipment tracking thread - #149 by climahedge
Batch 7 here, I also got my « preparing your batch » email.
my config include everything, ram, ssd, and the amd gpu.
Batch 9, I received my order preparation email overnight. I’m in the US. I’ve ordered a full laptop, but no GPU. I thankfully don’t see any RAM or SSD price increases, but I placed my order on 11/23.
Also batch 9 (mainboard only), received a preparation email overnight.
No. Order includes an SSD and RAM, but price unchanged.
No price change here. You should look into your local consumer protection laws, I know in Quebec they would not be allowed to make that change silently, they’d have to ask you if you agree to the price change, and if you don’t you get full refund on what you had paid for reservation.
Like others, got my email few hours ago. No price change. Batch 6, maxed out sans RAM/SSD. So the earliest theoretical date it could be shipped out on is December 17+3+1, except Dec 20 would be Saturday, so likely not until at least Monday, 22nd, or even Tuesday, 23rd, plus transit time (~2 days last time, IIRC?). I suppose miracles could happen and at least some of us could get it for Christmas, that’d be nice.
Confirming receipt of preparation email as well.
Interestingly, I got my “preparing” email after midnight in my time zone, and the email contained “To avoid delivery delays or incorrect product configurations, changes to payment method, shipping address, and product configurations must be done prior to December 18th.”
It was already the 18th for over 85% of the world by then.
I saw that too, it arrived 2025-12-18 at 00:09 in Boise, ID, USA and said changes had to be in by prior to the 18th. A little late for that…
I wasn’t planning to change anything anyway, but still strange timing.
Batch 9 DIY:
Received message with “We’re preparing your batch!” this morning 18 dec 2026 at 8:10 CET+1
Mail also states that the order will be locked for modifications tonight at 0:00
Hopefully this means it gets delivered before the end of this year!
(And if they manage to do it before Christmas next week all the better!)
batch 8 - full laptop - preparing order confirmation email.
ps. i love how all the alarmists were worried about getting their laptop after 2026 :^)
I mean, considering the wait time between my order and my email, I was expecting the laptop to be delivered in January. Which isn’t too problematic.
i ordered a 13” back in 2021 and it took about a month from order date to payment email, then a couple days after that for shipment received, this time it’s proving to be the same. i was expecting all of it.
