FW12 Batch 9 Guild

The only thing more modular than this laptop is my attention span while waiting for delivery :puzzle_piece:

When does your order claim it is shipping?

1 Like

In ā€œQ3ā€, so within the next 3 month, i hope :slight_smile:

If their schedule slipped by 2 weeks, maybe you’ll get a shipping notification later in August or early September.

What colour did you get?

I’m also in this guild, mine will be Sage, closest there was to ā€˜drab olive’ which is not only my favourite colour, it’s also my favourite name of a colour.

So, @chst what colour? Inquiring minds want to know!

Unfortunately, it is only a simple gray, because the logo of my company will be on it. :blush:

Just ordered my Laptop 12 in Bubblegum, I’ll also be covering mine in stickers!

I’ll be using it for some light software development, tinkering, and as a media device for travel and use in bed.

It’s going to be my primary computer and running Linux, keeping my Lenovo Legion laptop on Windows 11 for gaming use.

What are you guys planning on using yours for? Main machine? Secondary to another laptop or desktop?

Where did you find this?

I currently have a Samsung S9 tablet and got the 12 because I thought, huh, I might as well get something I can use as a tablet and a laptop. Only thing I use the tablet for at the moment is watching/listening to stuff at the gym - it’s really done wonders for my cardio, but I can’t justify keeping it around for just that.

I’ll be using the 12 as a workout machine, as a primary work computer (Microsoft still is horrendous at dealing with more than 2 accounts on a device for some reason, it’s just been causing me so much pain I decided heck with it), and light sketching. I have an older 17in gaming laptop that I’m hoping to eventually exchange for a FW 16 and a desktop computer. The 12 will hopefully be a good all-rounder, plus something to watch netflix in bed before sleeping and as a study device for work certs and stuff.

I’m really looking forward to it, but also trying not to overhype the thing in my mind, lol.

Edit: Goodness gracious m’dude, what do you need FOUR USB-C ports for! Also booooo bubblegum, I went with lavender.

Nice! I’ve been thinking of picking up an Android tablet for a while but haven’t been very excited about anything out there, the FW12 is definitely scratching that itch for me too!

I got the four USB-C ports so that they were colour matched to the body because I’m a little anal like that lol, I’ll switch out to USB-A if needed and use some other dongles I have for anything else. I was tossing up between both too, having so many colour options made the choice hard, I got the lavender keyboard though!

Get all silver expansion cards; it’ll contrast nicely with the baby blue base! :joy_cat:

:rofl: You’re a monster! I really wish you could preview all of the different coloured expansion cards in the FW12 against the different colourways.

I’m going to be keeping an eye on the options leading up to Batch 9 shipping, I’ll be tweaking my selection if they introduce any more coloured expansions.

I saw the batches on the preorder / configure page for the FW12, you can expand the section for each CPU model: Framework | Configure Framework Laptop 12 DIY Edition (13th Gen IntelĀ®

Thanks, see it now

I swear, I’m not kidding! :joy_cat: Check out some of the reviews on YouTube where they use the aluminum expansion cards with colored bases! They actually look pretty cool! :joy_cat:

All of mine will be aluminum.

Most colored bases and aluminum work surprisingly well. :joy_cat:

Hello, I am in batch 9 too. Do we know how many units are in a batch?

I’m in Batch 9 also!

I originally ordered a Batch 8 one then cancelled… now I’m paying the price.

Can’t wait for mine to come. Already migrated from the Mac to Windows on a very cheap old HP 14… bring it on!
