Similar here on almost all packages heading my way. My package says it should be here today by 2:40pm, but I know that is impossible when it hasn’t been marked as leaving Winnipeg yet, nor out for delivery. It can’t arrive within an hour when it is still over 700 km away unless they didn’t update the shipping status when it left.
I hope you get it soon! Status shows mine as out for delivery but the provided window ends in forty minutes. We shall see what happens
Are you like me now? Every time I go out now I seem to see a Fedex truck, even though I never used to notice them as they are so scarce in the UK.
It has arrived and it’s beautiful! 10/10
I’m so happy for you @Hunter-Framework! Can’t wait to see mine arrive. It missed the delivery date, but I am not surprised. Except for Amazon, no delivery company ever arrives here on time.
My package has been stuck in Winnipeg for two days now, so it seems to be taking as long as I expected. I’ll likely see it Thursday or Friday as I originally expected.
Hi from batch 14
Shipped from May 9th and received May 15th after spending more than one day at customs ?
Assembly was smooth took me around half an hour to unbox every part and mount a primary and a second SSD, working all fine and two sticks of RAM with no issue
I could boot up to BIOS and storage as well as RAM were all doing great
Just installed fedora 40 and trying to replace my previous laptop I was using for work (still a work in progress)
The feeling feels great compared to before
Is there anyone left here that is still waiting?
Well, my wait is over now! It arrived on Thursday as predicted. I do know my postal system well. I’ll make an update once I get into the box, but seeing as I intend to record the unboxing I’ll still likely end up waiting until the weekend.
Is anyone else having issues with enabling the TPM for BitLocker? I’ve looked through a few forum posts related to this issue on the 13, however it seems they are all based on either a bad main board or the samsung-based drives. The TPM module is enabled in EFI and the error shows up when BitLocker is getting enabled, so I don’t think it’s a bad main board.
You running Windows Pro or above? I only ask because Home edition will let you use BitLocker, but not set it up.
Do you get an error, if so, what is it?
No issues here, running Windows 11 Pro. Bitlocker seemed to configure itself as part of the Windows install and TPM looks happy.
My work only installs windows 10 and if we want to upgrade to 11, we have to start there. But windows 10 can’t see TPM, and the upgrade check says we can’t upgrade.
So I am unable to use the device for work unless they create a windows 11 boot media. If I’m being honest, I have no interest in Windows 11 for work or for home. I was hoping I could skate by with 10 despite the driver availability. Looks like a deal breaker for me. Might end up returning the device.
Ok, Update. I was able to install windows 10 and just install the W11 drivers onto it. I still can’t use it for work, but at least it’s in a usable state for personal use.
I did have W11 for a few minutes on it, however even the process to install the drivers had the thing underclock to 2.x GHz, which is strange. 10 is just better. =)
Better yes, but technically unsupported I believe, so getting everything working will be trial and error.
I had an issue with the TPM module as well. I initially had Windows 10 installed and couldn’t upgrade to 11. I basically had to do a new install and using the custom installation. I’m not sure if there’s a way to upgrade to Windows 11. It might just require a new install. I haven’t tried to use bit locker so I’m not 100% if everything is working but I don’t have anything with an error in my device manager.
Solved - had a bad mem stick. Took some poking around but figrued it out with the second unit.
Win11 lost my TPM module a few times over my first few days. Its weird. I still haven’t figured out what is happening. Overnight I go to log in and the credentials throw an error. The TPM.MSC throws an error. If I hard reboot it comes back. I opened another thread on this in the main forum but definitely some wonky stuff related to the TPM.
I have my laptop setup and tried to load Kubuntu 24.04, but I ran into a black screen after second reboot which as it turns out is due to the boot splash and SDDM fighting for access to the GPU. This became an issue due to some performance fixes that now no longer wait for device settling before starting the login manager (SDDM).
So, I decided to put on Kubuntu 23.10 instead. I’ll upgrade to 24.04 LTS in the fall once they have all their ducks in a row first. Mostly everything works great out of the box on 23.10 anyhow and a Wayland session is available which makes the desktop fast and responsive.
First impressions? It is amazing, performant and the fans did not run as intense or as loud as I was expecting with all the complaints about them. The built in sound is somewhat lackluster IMHO because it sounds like someone put the speakers at the end of a hallway with a cloth in front of them. Fortunately 90% of the time I intend to use Bluetooth, which I must say is great.
Gotta love the community here. After some searching on sound quality I ran into this page. It is a workaround, but it works great nonetheless for making the built in speakers actually sound good.
