Good news for anyone interested, I’m testing the lid closing power save stuff.
Going to leave it with lid closed tonight (running Ubuntu) at 21% and see how much is left in the morning.
During the day lid closures have been power saving really well, only using usb c ports in the rear.
Charged in Germany 
Of course, my credit card company blocked the transaction because of security…
Charged in France. Yipee ! 
Interesting, thanks for linking that post.
Batch 1 7840U mainboard kit. Still not charged. In the USA.
Has anyone’s mainboard kit been charged?

To me as a future owner this is really the most important point. Getting info on the performance of the unit before confirming my preorder means I have a much better idea about what I am buying, from independent sources. So those reviews need to come as early as possible. I never buy stuff at these price points without reading reviews I trust.
If that means I receive my unit a few days later due to the few dozen early review units not going into the retail channel, that’s absolutely worth it to me. Those few units are really nothing compared to the numbers they need to send out now, so once production is ramped up to full rate, the delay should be absolutely minimal.
also i’ve heard more negative complaints about slickwraps over the years.
Really happy with my framework so far, it looks great with the clear bezel and keyboard and it works with Fedora 39 and my thunderbolt dock! 
My compliments on how easy it is to open and work on it, only 1 tool and a few screws with the same bit, good job Framework! 
Which last mile carrier is used in Germany?
Got charged around 11 hours ago, and a shipping email just now.
can you post some photos with the clear bezel?
wow that’s exciting! still no shipping email here yet. hopefully it comes soon!
edit: just got my shipping email! I’m so jolly it’s going to arrive before I go overseas next week. cutting it so close!
@demounit sure!
(i forgot to remove the adhesive stickers by the way, the white rectangles on the bottom of the bezel are removable ;-))
@0xFF damn that looks slick! I wish I had been able to snag a translucent bezel. it was no longer available when I ordered. looks so good.
Shipping confirmation here in Australia!
Payment taken at 9:18am
Shipping confirmation 9:09pm
This looks damn sharp.
is your tracking saying estimated arrival Monday? still hoping it comes by the end of the week 
If you’re batch 2, you can still write to support and ask them to modify your order? Maybe they won’t respond in time, but I don’t expect it’ll make things worse
Estimated Wednesday 
oh damn. surely it comes faster than that. are you in WA or Tas or something? i’m in sydney, pretty sure fedex stuff comes into aus through syd.
