Nice! Was thinking of starting a batch 4 group, hoping that production picks up after the lunar new year. They’ve said that they’ve doubled their Production capacity in preparation but they seem to be going out slower than expected. Fingers crossed those issues are ironed out, I read that with FW13 AMD there were 4 batches going out at a time, maybe with that kind of progress they can fulfill all preorders by Q2 like Nirav mentioned recently.

I heard something about keyboards. I have the International English Linux keyboard, are there any problems with those?

I am wondering, does everyone’s here order still say “batch 4 - ships q4” or does it say q1 now? I’m batch 6, I am just wondering if they have modified people’s orders at all, or if they didn’t bother to yet

Hey all!
I’m in Batch 4, and I’ve ordered a Ryzen™ 9 7940HS - Radeon™ RX 7700S, Linux keyboard, and matrix LED side panels. Super stoked for it, but I know we still have some time to wait :-/ Looking forward to putting Solus on that bad boy. Bought some g.skill DDR5 5600 16x2 ram and WD_BLACK 2TB SN850X NVMe.

Batch 4, reporting in.
Here’s what I got:
- Ryzen 9
- Radeon RX 7700S added
- RGB US English keyboard
- Numpad module
- Black bezel
- 8 expansion cards (2 USB-A, 2 USB-C, Ethernet, HDMI, microSD card, audio)
I’ll be sticking with Windows, since Linux really isn’t my thing. Though, I’ve sourced a license elsewhere.
I also got the RAM and storage separately: 2x16 GB G.Skill, 2 TB WD_Black 2280, and 2 TB WD 2230.
Can’t wait for that billing and shipping notification!

Amazon actually has a good price (USD) on the 2x48 crucial memory (I know possibly not supported).

Keyboard: RGB US English
Numpad

PS I would have been batch 1 or 2 if not for my in-depth research on which Ryzen to get 
… building PCs since 1997 - and ALWAYS got Intel CPUs, but hey, they will fix some things by the time this ships, KB 4 sure maybe the screen? Will see - planning to get a touch screen as soon as they offer them.

For some reason I expected there to be plenty of equivalent or better chargers to be available by the time I got my laptop, but it looks less and less likely. Has anybody spotted one anywhere? Support told me I can’t add a charger without losing my spot in batch 4.

Same problem, i am gonna have to use a charger far from equipped to charge my batch 6 until either the 240w comes out, which im still hoping is any day now, or buy a charger when they become available

What would happen if you connect two chargers at the same time? Can the laptop use power from both chargers at the same time?
Two chargers, I think it has been answered as no.
IIRC, it will use the higher wattage charger if possible.
Hmm, be interesting to see, as it says it is a SATA drive, not PCiE.
Hi there: not sure where you see that? 
it is PCIe 4.0. An M.2 drive does not have a SATA interface unless you put it in an enclosure, and that would be to use it as an external drive only.
