It’s definitely my impatience getting the best of me, but I’m gonna go ahead and start this batch-guild off.
Being inspired by (shamelessly copying from) the creator of the batch 1 guild, here is my setup so far:
Basic Spec:
DIY Edition
Ryzen™ 7 7840HS
Empty Expansion Bay Shell
Black Bezel
180W EU/KR power adaper
RAM: TBD
Storage: TBD
Input Modules:
Backlit German Keyboard
Numpad Module
Black Spacers
Expansion Cards:
USB-A
2x USB-C
DP-Port
HDMI-Port (3rd Gen)
Ethernet
3,5mm Audio Jack
How did you configure yours, and what are your hopes for getting your batch 3 order before Christmas/New Year?
I for my part am still optimistic, but also wouldn’t be surprised if we get it in January.
Batch 3 will arrive in 2023
Maybe starts shipping in December, but spill-over to January
I had first ordered Framework 13 AMD version in March (Batch 2), but then cancelled that and ordered FW16 when it was opened for pre-order and was given Batch 3.
I wanted the bigger screen and the option of secondary storage and battery (in the expansion bay). Performance/power wasn’t a factor for me because I do and will be using my desktop predominantly.
If you searched the forum and didn’t find them, I guess they don’t exist. But these aren’t any official threads made by framework themselves. I also just started this one, because I wanted to. If you want and appearantly are the first, you can just open the Batch 5 thread yourself.
I did the same thing, though I actually gave up a Batch 1 spot of the 13 to join Batch 3 of the 16. I switched for the screen size, the numpad, and the added power of the GPU for video editing. And so we wait…
I think there is the slimmest of chances that Batch 3 goes out before the holiday if they really push harder than even the later batches of the FW13 AMD, so I’m gonna go ahead and cling to that completely unfounded hope.
We’ve got guilds all the way up to batch 16 but nothing for batch 3 yet! Thought I’d get the discussion going. As with the others, I’ll throw a poll in:
Now I renamed this thread “FWL16 Batch 3 Guild” to “FW16 Batch 3 Guild” to align with other FW16 Batch N Guild. I think people can find this thread easier.
