Am I the only one who is in absolutely no rush (and kinda hoping for a very slight delay) to hit that sweet Prime Day sale on SSDs in early July?
Although I’m not hoping for a delay, I’m not in a rush too, good things comes to those who know how to wait ahah!
Yeah definitely not in a rush myself. My current laptop is starting to show its age, but I’m happy to get another several more months out of it until I can get my framework 16. Also means there will be more time for cool innovations and software improvements, stuff like that.

Hey, just ordered my Laptop 16 and I had a question, does anyone know if Batch 18 is going to be shipped before July? Thanks a lot <3
Signed up for Batch 18 last week. DIY, Ryzen 7, 32 GB single, 2 TB + 0.5 TB SSD, no graphics module. Got permission from my spouse to order it as my 5-year old HP is being held together with duct tape. Otherwise, it’s fine. She thinks it’s wrong to have to put down a deposit. She doesn’t understand, yet.

Hey there, another one reporting for batch 18 guild!
Ryzen 7, 2x16GB DDR5, 1TB SN850X, no graphics module, international ANSI Linux keyboard.
Currently working on a company provided macbook pro which tbh hasn’t been that bad (in big part thanks to Yabai) but want to start working on side projects on my free time and really miss using Linux. I’m so onboard everything FW stands for (repairability, upgradeability, customization, open source module designs, Linux support, etc), so yeah, really looking forward to get my hands on this laptop!

+1 for just needing to get away from MacOS. If Framework had some premium 5k USD+ option similar to Macbooks and better hardware, that would be an instant buy for me (and possibly a better sell to tech companies), but can’t complain with what we’ve got!
Ryzen™ 7 7840HS - DDR5-5600 - 32GB (2 x 16GB) - SN850X NVMe™- M.2 2280 (2TB) - Graphics Module - DisplayPort (2nd Gen) (
HDMI) - 3x USB-A - 2x USB-C

In Batch18 as well. First time buying a $1k+ laptop and very excited for it to be a framework. I loved the idea of Framework’s laptops back when the 13 was announced and have been eagerly waiting for them to do a larger model. Part of me is happy to be in the later batches since hopefully it means a lot of bugs and QoL issues are fixed by the time the laptop arrives. Using this as an opportunity to dive back into Linux as well. Haven’t used Linux for my daily driver since college.
Ryzen 7840HS
2x8 GB DDR5
English US Keyboard + Numpad
No GPU
Self-Provided Samsung 990 EVO 1 TB SSD
2x USB C ports
2x USB A ports
1x HDMI port
1x Micro SD Slot
I opted to by my own 100W Anker power supply for something even smaller than the framework power brick and since I won’t have a GPU, it should be more than enough to charge the battery while using the laptop.

I too am out here in the very last batch. First new laptop I’m purchasing!
Chose the Ryzen 7 with a single 16gb stick of memory, 2x USB-A and 3x USB-C. I’m bringing my 512gb SSD from my XPS 13 I have already. Pretty excited to have such a modular computer; the keyboard deck modules remind me a lot of Project Ara!

It’s definitely the most expensive laptop I’ve ever bought, possibly even more expensive than my desktop, I can’t remember.
I’m starting to regret not getting one of the LED matrix modules, but we’ll see how attached I am to the numpad after using it for a while. Maybe I’ll pick one up when the FW16 modules open up on the marketplace.

Hi everyone, I ordered my laptop a few weeks ago and have been following the batch status since they shipped batch 7. Today both Batch 9 and 10 shipped! From what I can tell they generally ship a batch once a week! Sometimes they take a couple of weeks for any change but then two have been shipped. Rough guess but I would assume Batch 18 will be shipped by the end of May to the beginning of June give or take a few weeks. If anyone’s interested I ordered:
Ryzen 7 7840HS
AMD Radeon RX 7700S GPU
WD_Black SN770S 2TB SSD
Crucial RAM 32GB DDR4 x2
USB C expansion card
USB A expansion card x4
HDMI expansion card
Windows 11 Pro
Black spacers and black bezel
Power adaptor
British English keyboard
Edit: I miscalculated my estimated date, it’s more likely to be mid June

Kingston Fury 2x16GB DDR4

Audio
3 x USB-A
2 x USB-C
MicroSD

2 x HDMI (3rd Gen)

In worse scenario batch 18 in 8 weeks. If two a week, in 4? That seems to be reasonable. I would like the Engineering Team and Product Delivery Team to take their time, no pressure from this customer! The best products are the products that are given the time to execute properly. Thank You Engineering and Product Delivery Team!

I think we’ll be getting the preparation emails end of May and start shipping laptops early June. They’re averaging about 4 - 5 business days per batch, so some weeks there’s 2 batches going out (1 Monday and 1 Friday) other weeks, there’s only 1 (Tues - Thurs).
Like you, I’m in no rush. I just set the money aside and now am just waiting.
