FW12 Color Batch 1 Guild

This thread is specifically for the Sage, Lavender, and Bubblegum colors.

I got kinda tired of the disappointment about updates from the Batch 1 guild.

Black/gray and the fun colors are functionally separate batches. This way we can all update each other like the other guilds

So this can be the cooler batch 1 guild, lol.

Mine is Lavender, but with 10% less cool, because my fancy european layout doesnt come with the lavender touchpad.

Needless to say, I’m being oppressed.

Lavender :heart_eyes:
I already bought 48gb ram, 1tb ssd and stylus from amazon, now waiting only for the tablet/laptop itself…

I was going to :face_with_raised_eyebrow:

But that’s completely valid.

I wonder when the colors will catch up to their black/gray counterpart batches.

Also, don’t you all feel sad for the poor no-fun black, gray, and silver users? (pay no attention to my black de-badged Thinkpad with not even a single sticker :upside_down_face:)
Sure, they get their FWL12 sooner, but at what cost?

Too accurate.
I seem to feel a need to appear boring, at least on the surface, as sadly too many take that as a sign of being professional and adult. :necktie: :dotted_line_face: I keep the fun just under that thin surface. :tada:

I de-badge because I have an innate hatred of company advertising. I almost don’t care how much I like the products a company produces, I don’t keep their logos on my property unless I feel it benefits me.

I usually go out of my way to remove or cover logos, Framework gets a pass :smiling_face_with_sunglasses:

I do, but not as much as people with laptops from other brands.

The fw12 in black looks way cooler than most laptops imo.
But all the colors are on a different level, like good luck finding a laptop in bright pink and blue.

My guess is no earlier than mid-July, (so like July 16th probably.)

It sucks that we can’t color match. I usually run 2 type C and 2 type A, so I’m just going to use the extra type A cards I have for my 13.

I also plan to buy my own memory and storage. :]

I like the black accents on the grey, TBH.

I’m not bothered, but maybe vinyl skins would do the trick.

I’m bothered, but not enough to get a skin, fortunately, lol.
I’d be surprised if they didn’t at some point at least introduce matching type A and HDMI cards, since those are so popular.

For me it’s:

  • i5
  • Storage: Corsair MP600 Mini (already purchased)
  • Memory: Probably 32GB Kingston FURY Impact KF556S40IB-32 (not purchased yet, will buy it last minute so I’m still in the return window if it doesn’t work - it’s not in “the list”)
  • Keyboard: French-Canadian (French accents but in a QWERTY layout - AZERTY’s not for me)
  • Will dual boot Fedora 42 KDE Plasma and Windows 11, and I’ll leave some empty space so I can try other Linux distros (Probably won’t be using Windows 11 much though, it’s just in case - and I have an unused license)

What color? Sage of course! With 2 sage USB-C and 2 lavender USB-C (because), plus a few other expansion cards.

P.S.: Hey Team Sage, how about another thread, “FW12 The Even Cooler Batch 1 Guild”? :zany_face:
P.P.S.: Hey Team Black/Gray Batch 1, you’re still our favorite cousins

I pre-ordered a iSage i3 model. I initially ordered a black i5 model and cancelled it.

Bringing my own RAM / SSD which I’ll order when my machine gets shipped. Hoping for 48GB / 2TB - can more than 2TB be found?

Ordered two USB C ports, a microSD, Ethernet, two USB A’s and an HDMI. Plus a power adapter.

Hoping for a screen upgrade in the future and maybe even better CPU so didn’t pay extra for the i5.

Eh; I was going to go all aluminum, which would’ve been pretty cool, then I saw the red and orange transparent cards, and I said fuck it, let’s do this. :joy_cat:

All I know is the Fw12 is only supposed to support 2tb drives, there could be 3tb drives. I haven’t seen any, though.

It’s not as much that it doesn’t support bigger drives but that there currently aren’t any. It’s ultimately a m-key m.2 slot so pretty much anything pcie will work there as long as you can physically fit it.

Neat.
