FW16 Batch 4 Guild

R7 + DGPU + Linux keyboard, still haven’t been charged yet… Current laptop is on its last legs, hoping it’ll get here soon :smiling_face_with_tear:

Does it matter as far as place in line that one gets a ryzen 9 or 7? I got the 9 with macro and blank rgb, and got charged, while someone with R7 but similar setup didn’t.

I don’t think so. I have ordered a Ryzen 7, no dGPU, German keyboard, numpad, and I was charged yesterday.

Maybe it’s first come first served

This just in: “Your order has shipped”. :eyes:

Shipped here too

Same! Sad, that’s gonna be a very long weekend

According to earlier batches, FedEx estimate ETA very loosely, so might be possible for a Friday delivery. But I will keep it on Monday in my head :sunglasses:

Got charged yesterday morning, shipped this morning, should arrive on Friday! Very excited!

I thought I’d ordered RAM/storage too soon, but that’s supposed to come on Thursday.

Everything’s coming up Milhouse!

It should be first come, first served, as a long as all parts are available, then it moves to the next one that has all parts and loops back when any out of stock is replenished. At least that’s what we’ve been told.

I ordered the ram in… October? It arrived in January… Can’t be too careful

Hmmm… Still haven’t been charged yet. Hope this just means my order is in the back of the batch, or a part I ordered is out? My concern is always with my card rejecting the charge for one reason or another…

Do we know if they’ve alleviated the issues with macro pad + rbg keyboards or are they out of those?

People in the first 3 batches with the delayed parts did get theirs shipped, but no idea if there’s still a stock issue or not. Was just a thought.

Also, I didn’t order a macro pad. I did get the RGB US English keyboard, but with the regular numpad.

In the same boat

With some people being charged and some not, it is probably due to something like this:

  1. We finished X laptops today
  2. Lets charge X people today.
  3. Lets charge the next X people tomorrow after we finish their laptop, etc.
    I don’t know about else where, but in the UK, if suppliers charge, but then fail to deliver within 30 days, the supplier starts breaking regulations.
    So, for example if they charged, and then realised they did not have the right keyboard and it took more than 30 days to get that keyboard, the supplier would be in big trouble.
    So, the least risky approach is to only charge when you are highly confident that you can deliver within 30 days. With suppliers with complex supply chains, the only reasonable least risky approach is to charge just before shipping.
