October/Batch 4 Thread

Earlier today my laptop was a few states north of me, and now it’s even further south than where I live!
Thank you FedEx, very cool.

I am hoping my framework ships out on Monday.
But I hate Mondays. I’ll be too busy to keep checking. :frowning:
Feel like I am gonna miss something essential from this experience.
There goes my aha moment of discovery…

My laptop came in today, Setting up hardware wasn’t an issue, but I’m still working on setting up Windows. I didn’t want to start fresh so I’m cloning an old laptop drive and the cloning process to the internal drive seems to be taking a minute to even start. Any tips?

Good ole FedEx. Was supposed to receive the delivery on Saturday but it didn’t arrive. Been “IN TRANSIT” for 2 and a half days at the last step before it is delivered. Hoping for Monday now.

Idk what tool you are using for cloning but I’ve used CloneZilla for every backup and restore solution I’ve ever used it and worked perfectly every time.

Maybe give that a look if you haven’t already.

JUST GOT MY CREDIT CARD CHARGED and email soon to be shipped!

Weeeeeee

But if I actually get my Framework, how will I have time to speculate and wonder about all the fun things I’m going to do when I get my Framework???

Nah, but that confirmation of charge email was a pretty great way to cap off my day.

With Linux-y intentions, I’m finding it hard to make an argument against Fedora 35, coming out of beta into full release itself in just a couple of days, what with the coordination between them and Framework, and the reports from the beta saying everything important is working out of the box.

I cannot wait and look forward to spending more time in the community.

For people who are keeping track:

Ordered: 21 Sept.
Version: DIY i7 Non-vPro

Welcome to the community btw :slight_smile: hope your laptop gets to you soon!

Keep us all posted with your experience around it.

That’s so unfortunate mate! Check that with the Support team, I’m sure they’ll sort you out. You’re most probably not the first one getting that sort of issue.

Let us know how that goes. I’m here hoping everything gets sorted quickly.

Got my “Your order is shipping soon” message at 1:30 this morning. But gmail very “helpfully” decided that it shouldn’t be in my inbox and I missed it.

So the timeline would be:
Ordered Sept 20th
“Preparing to ship”: Oct 15th
“Your order is shipping soon:”: Oct 18th

Which I hope means its here by the end of the week or early next

:sweat: Today marks one month since I pre-ordered mine haha. Got charged last week but it still hasn’t shipped… I also have little faith in FedEx, they recently delayed a package by two weeks even though it’s only a 20 minutes drive to the south.



It came in yesterday! I’ve got Pop!_OS on my main drive, and I have a secondary NVMe with Windows 11 on it for school apps like Respondus and MS Office.
Huge thanks to @CJ_Elevated for the fingerprint reader install script from his video description

Loving my Framework! I’ve taken this thing apart so many times now haha. I hope you all get your laptops soon!!

Update - I also put on a Matte screen protector from ViaScreens, and I’m very glad they included two since I really botched the first one.

Has anyone with a card charge from 14 Oct gotten a shipment notification yet? Still haven’t seen anything beyond getting charged :confused:

It’s a mid i7 model, if that makes any difference.
