I just got the shipping soon email for my i5 DIY that I ordered on 22 August. (And the charge just showed up pending on my card.)

Got a shipping update…it’s in NC currently. It’s only 8 hours away but yet will take 48 hours to get it into my hands. If I could, I’d make the trip right now and still be home before the scheduled arrival with a ton of time left over. 
Well, I have left the September boat. Hope you guys get your machines. This feels like history is being made.

Received my i7-1185G7 DIY model today and have it up and running! I’ll piggyback on @Fraoch’s first impressions post when it comes out. Overall very positive though, it’s an awesome little machine!

I think it’s a two-way queue; 1st is the order date, 2nd is the CPU. When I sort by order date, the i5s are ahead of everything else in terms of first ordered (makes sense), but there are i7-1165G7s that folks have confirmed receipt of while i5s that ordered the same day are still waiting for that “We’re about to charge you soon!” email.
Rough counts so far (not an official roll-up):
38x i5-1135G7 (4x rec’d, 7x on the way, 10x charged but waiting shipping email)
40x i7-1165G7 (5x rec’d, 5x on the way, 9x charged but waiting shipping email)
8x i7-1185G7 (5x rec’d, 2x on the way, 1x fella who hasn’t followed up)

Oof, I must’ve been tired because I missed this completely! Will follow up when I have a moment with my thoughts (many are along the same lines)
