Honestly I’m impressed that it was in China about 6 hours ago and it arrived in France an hour ago. Sure that’s plenty doable with air traffic but I sort of expected it to take longer in some hubs. It only took 45 minutes for it to be released from the hub in France where it landed.

Don’t forget timezones 
FedEx tracking says departed 12:17AM and arrived 2:18PM for me (China->France) so it’s more like 14 hours minus un/loading the planes.

I’m in the 3:04 batch (upgrade kit) here as well. Hopefully good news by Monday! I’m fine letting others work out the Linux bugs before I upgrade anyway.

While I do think that is valid, I’m entirely sure that the times that I mentioned are correct. 7:15 PM my time the last update was around 2:15 PM and at 7:25 I noticed there was a new update at 7:22.
Roundabout 9500km in 5 hours would be 1900km/h. If FedEx doesn’t use Concordes this is very ambitious 
Maybe just some error in tracking.

Sorry about that. I planned on placing a /s there but it seems my tired ass forgot it on my last comment

Your concordes comment did asd to the joke well.

Has anyone done any undervolting with their laptop? Does it work and is there a noticeable benefit?

Hrm. Looks like that shipment is still stuck in Alaska. >_> Everyone is crossing their fingers right?

Mine moved from Paris to Cologne in the meantime.
Consider them crossed
I work with a business that imports their product, and as a government agency, US customs is always closed on weekends, hence the FedEx delay. Things should resume on Monday as normal and the packages should start moving again unless the shipment is flagged for further inspection which hopefully won’t happen.
But so far, there shouldn’t be anything to worry about on that delay. Just FYI

Do you have any preferences between the 7840U and 7640U? Is there big IRL differences in performance and efficiency that warrants the extra 400 bucks?
The igpu is more powerful, so it depends if your gaming

I would only get it if A) you can take advantage of the extra cores for school/work or B) you were already in the market for a Steam Deck or ROG Ally.
While I haven’t found a way to undervolt, you can do a variety of power limiting withryzenadj if you set iomem=relaxed on Phoenix APUs (7040). Here are some details from a 7940HS device I’ve been poking around with for the past few months: Minisforum UM790 Pro · lhl/linuxlaptops Wiki · GitHub

and amidst the packing and testing, if you have time, any reports here as to your impressions and experience would be great!

Just as deep as OLED. No wonder that isn’t an option yet.

It’s not, especially in a dark room. Unless there’s a third panel option beyond the glossy and matte options.
