I got the 9 so that it could last as long as possible before upgrading.

Looks like Batch 2 is going to be shortly after Chinese New Year is over!!!
The first Framework Laptop 16’s are now in customers’ hands, with more Batch 1 units in transit to those who have received shipment notices. Both our factory and our fulfillment warehouse are now on Lunar New Year holiday, so the next set of units will ship and production will resume on February 15th in Taiwan. That will include the remaining Batch 1 orders along with the first Batch 2 systems. We’ll remain in continuous production from there, with most of our total factory capacity allocated to Framework Laptop 16 manufacturing.

I love seeing that most of their capacity is allocated to FW16. Hopefully they’re not ignoring their 13 customers…but that’s great. Also, with the first batch 2 systems going out shortly after CNY that gives me hope they have a one week cadence between batches…

They probably have a separate line or the demand for the 13 isn’t that high at the moment.

After the holiday we will probably see the amount of post increase
And have a better understanding how long they need to fulfill a batch

You can change your order without losing your place. Just email framework and ask. I did this a day or two after I ordered (changed CPU and Windows version). It may take them a while to get back to you.
Looks like the email came out for us batch twos about preparing our batch. Just got the email now. This is exciting!

Check your Bank balance guys.
Got my email at the same time you guys did. I’m super excited! I think I missed Batch 1 by minutes because I took too long in the configurator when the preorders launched lmao

Ouch! I thought my waiting time in batch 5 was long (I’m anticipating early to mid April)

Yeah, I waited way too long to order. Oh well.
It would be nice if they added a pinned thread that just said where they were, we just find out by flicking through the different batches anyway 
Sadly no email for me yet. Perhaps me choosing the EN International Linux keyboard variation influences where I am in the Batch 2 queue. Hitting refresh in my email and the order list every few minutes now. 
Framework are starting to turn chaotic (or maybe true?) neutral on us, it seems
