hello! this will be my first device from Framework.
edit: realized I don’t care that much and went with lavender instead for the USB-C
Thanks for starting a Batch 6 Guild thread! I’m also in batch 6 and went black/grey with aluminum expansion cards.
It would be nice to see photos with mismatch but there are so many color combinations I get why they didn’t do it. However, given that some expansion cards only come in aluminum I do think one promo picture with aluminum expansion cards would make sense. For me, I’m going all aluminum expansion just so I could swap with my framework13.
Batch 6!
This will also be my first Framework and I went for gray/white with gray cards. Was always interested in Framework but already had a Surface Pro 9 that worked fine so didn’t bother. Only I eventually wanted to put Linux on it, and it turns out it has some pretty big hardware incompatibilities (no one has been able to get the camera working on Linux). Turned out Framework had just announced the 12 which checks every box for me, so I’m not losing anything by switching! Very excited.
Does anyone know when our batch 6 ist planned to be shipped?
I’d like to have a more precise answer than “Q3”.
Thanks in advance!
It’s kinda hard to guess since we don’t know how many are in a single batch, but it seems reasonable that batches 1-3 ship in mid-July and batches 4-6 ship late July.
That’s just an uneducated guess, though.
No idea when 7-8 will ship.
Wanted to switch from grey to lavender… But this would move my order from Batch 6 to Batch 8 
So I think, I’ll stay with grey 
On the bright side: gray closest matches the silver expansion cards, so it’ll look a bit better if you use anything but usb-c
Also, you can always grab a new shell later if you really love the lavender color 
Better yet, you could mix and match a few parts to create something unique, I think the gray color is best for that.
I already thought about that… But this would be additional 110€ … (And some tinkering)
I moved from Batch 1 (ships June) to Batch 6 (ships July) because after seeing some more pictures that I decided that I actually prefer the grey model over the black one. At the time, Batch 6 was the last batch that ships in July. Batch 7 was scheduled for Q3.
I think we will not see our devices or the mails announcing shipment on july… I rather fear it won’t even be in august.
Anyone better expectations?
I think you are correct.
The next batches just say Q3, which could mean September, after we’ve slipped into August
Sorry to be slightly off topic but is this THE Tim Schofield who does youtube videos? or just a coincidental name - I like your demeanour if it is you
Ha, ha! No, I’m not him, and hadn’t realised there was a famous YouTuber with the same name.
I’d always thought it was quite an unusual name but keep on coming across others… .
Seeing as they are not shipping/processing in weekends (probably due to logistic limitations and not a big company), and the current speed, I think you are right. It’s specially true if you have a fancy color, which is even further behind.
A bit of transparency of which batch is currently getting charges/preparation/shipping emails officially from FW would be nice… but it’s probably too much to ask.
I bought the NVMe, because I can test if that is working properly without the computer, but I’m holding for the RAM, I don’t want my 30 day return window to run out and have to RMA the thing.
I’m in batch 2 sage and have received the preparing batch email, hopefully they will take my money in the next few days. I would not be at all surprised if batch 6 happens in the middle of August.
Same here. NVME currently running in my desktop and for the RAM I’m tracking price-comparison-websites. 
Ordered a boring gray and don’t want to slip back in schedule but changing the color. So I think I’ll use a skin so change the color
Hi!
Batch 6, grey here.
My order still says “shipping in July”.
On the other hand, I didn’t get any E-Mail so far.
Let’s hope for the best!
(To be honest, I didn’t order any SSD or RAM so far. We only have a 14-days period where you can send stuff back…)
I got the Step 4 email as expected.
I got the Step 4 email as expected.
Is your order in Batch 6?
No, I was just trying to give a timeline.
