I am just getting my usual needs ported over from my mechanical keyboards. A bit more trickery on the macropad. I plan to have some combined color changing things depending on the mode the macropad is in. I have something like the below in mind:
For the labeling of those macropad keys, I am interested in clear lables. I planned to print them with my Dymo printer, but that is not really pretty.
Yeah, basically as soon as I saw the actual hinge design from one of the early FW16 reviews I was convinced that it was shimmable, and thus that the strict thickness limitations could be worked around.
Thanks for sharing!!!
Currently I am working on a stand for the FW16 that allows me to use the internal screen as secondary but at a similar height as my 27". I am still looking for the laptop body thickness at the front, but I used a modular template, so I can get this corrected with just re-printing two parts of the full design.
The gray block in the photo is one of my test prints for the FW16 body thickness (using 14.5mm for now).
I also can’t wait, and agree with other people that it might be May/June. Has anyone heard anything that might indicate a more firm date?
Right now there are no firm dates as far as I can see. They’re still working on Batch One, which was supposed to go out in Q4 of last year…but they also said all current pre-orders should be fulfilled in the first half of the year…so June seems reasonable, but nothing firm yet.
This provides some more detail. Looks like full steam ahead.
Batch 16, let’s goooooo!
Glad we have guilds now 
Hello all !
Yet an other guy waiting for his Framework 16 in batch 16.
Do we have an idea of how many laptop are in each batch ?
No, but there is a guess of around 1500-2000.
could be larger or smaller though.
I resemble that remark! Or, at least I used to…
I placed my pre-order on 1/29. The configuration page said batch 16 but when I was finished and got confirmation of my deposit, it stated Batch 17 (boo). I was a bit bummed, especially after checking back on the configuration page which still said batch 16… Oh well, no big deal, so I joined the batch 17 guild thread and started digging through the forums for info on Linux Mint compatibility.
Until today when I logged in to my account to look at my build sheet and saw that It now says Batch 16!!!
So I have abandoned the batch 17 guild to their lasting misery and taken my rightful place here with my true brethren in the Batch 16 Guild!

Saw your post, checked my order and same thing Guild 16 now 
Same happened here, when I was placing the order it said Batch 16, when it went through it changed to 17. Emailed Framework and got switched back to Batch 16
I just hope it arrives by July, before my maternity leave 
(Are there any women on this forum?) Edit: oh I specifically waited to join a later batch because I want to see how things play out for people with the early ones 
Curious about installation issues and solutions etc.
Welcome fellow refugee’s from batch 17!
And yes, we need more estrogen here! 
My FW16 is this config:
Configuration:
Expansion Bay System
Customisation
Expansion Cards
Accessories
So, no rare options there, so I should get the FW16 without parts delays.
I am going to purchase RAM locally after the laptop arrives. The list of compatible RAM modules should be verified by the time batch 16 arrives. At least I now know about the 15mins of RAM training time to allow for if the laptop does not look like it is booting the first time I install the new RAM chips.
I have many spare NVME cards already from other expired projects so I will just use one of them.
Wait what ? Where is this info ?
Ahhhh thank you good to know
I guess until Batch 16 is shipped, the backlog of the parts that aren’t available right now are resolved.

Fellow batch 16 here. Is there anywhere to keep track of which batch is currently shipping? Looking at other threads it seems maybe some of batch 3 is shipping, is that right? Because if so that means we would be lucky to get our laptops by the fall 
8000 series amd processors have been out for a bit now, and 9000 might be by the time we get our batch, making it a pretty bad investment by that time. Not trying to be a negative nancy but I’m concerned
