If they have extras of a particular SKU once they’ve fulfilled all the batch 1 orders for that SKU, they may begin shipping those extras to batch 2 customers while they finish production on the remaining SKUs for batch 1. As far as I know, that’s only ever happened once (early during the 12th gen launch) because the preorders tell them how many of each SKU they need – it only happens if they overshoot their yield targets.
I was hoping the shipping to aus would be quick but it’s been chilling in Singapore for almost 24 hours now. definitely won’t arrive today. looks like Monday for sure at the earliest.
In the heart of Texas, under vast open skies,
A card was charged, a laptop prize.
“Payment complete!” the email did say,
A Framework Laptop’s on its way.
From Sutter St., where dreams take flight,
To Texas lands, by day or night.
“Ships Q3,” the details read,
With visions of Ryzen in my head.
Awaiting now the shipment’s trace,
A tracking number, to embrace.
Free shipping, a generous token,
A promise by Framework, unbroken.
In the hustle of digital spree,
Framework stands tall, by the sea.
A pre-order journey, soon to end,
With a laptop, a new tech friend.
So, to give some early feedback after using my Framework for a few days. So far my Crucial 96GB kit seems to be working fine (CT2K48G56C46S5?). I do have some issues with the 6.5 kernel on my Gentoo install. I expect the BIOS update and/or future kernels to fix that though, since that behaviour seems to be mostly documented. For example whenever I start Steam, it crashes the amdgpu driver with some IBS error. I’ll probably try the 6.6 kernel soon (or figure out which patch might be relevant from the Ubuntu OEM kernel). Interestingly Firefox, Wayland, etc seem to be working fine, but Steam crashes the kernel reliably on startup. At some point that seemed to crash the whole system, with fun blinking lights on the charge port, keyboard and power button not working, etc, but that resolved itself after a few minutes. But yeah, that is what you get to deal as an early adopter of exotic configurations and so far it isn’t much worse that the permanent issues I had on my previous ASUS laptop (where it didn’t crash Steam, but instead had a black screen and no USB after suspend, so…).
