Mine is shipped, estimated delivery Friday May 2nd.

Mine also got shopped today :smiling_face_with_three_hearts:

Just installed mine into the chassis and confirmed working:
Board: AI 5 340
RAM: GSkill Ripjaws 32GB DDR5-5600
Wifi: Intel AX210
OS: Ubuntu 25.04
Kernel: 6.14.0-15-generic

Everything is working flawlessly, including hibernation. Not terribly impressed with efficiency (yet). I’m running Power Profiles Daemon (PPD) on Power Saver and achieving about 3-4 W idle but about 20-22 W running Firefox with Youtube. Hopefully this will change with optimization. I’m coming from from 11th Gen and apart from idle times the basic tasks wattage is around the same.

My new framework laptop also arrived today. I’ll probably assemble it and install Arch on it on Sunday. :hugs: :laptop:

Mine arrived yesterday with a completely dead battery. I was scared when I put it together, hit the power button, and nothing happened. It worked fine after charging.

The only snag I’ve run into with my pre-built was Windows update. The update 2025-04 Cumulative Update KB5055523 stalled at 6% downloaded. I got impatient and Reset PC. The update again stalled at 6%. So I walked away. In the morning history said the update was Successfully installed. Day One. Sigh.

Received my board today, after installing it and repopulating the EFI boot entries my Gentoo booted up like nothing happened :smiling_face_with_sunglasses: not done any further testing yet though.

Has anybody gotten charge limit in BIOS to work? Mine is completely ignoring my 80% setting.

Yes, I have, in my pre-built running Windows 11 on the Framework charger. I used USB-C expansion cards in ports 1 and 2. I did not encounter anything unusual.

Sorry, I have no suggestions for you.

Behaviors I’ve noticed so far with my pre-built Windows 11 370:

The laptop occasionally ignores the set charge limit of 80%. It’s intermittent. It happens with the Framework charger and others (HyperJuice, Anker).

The laptop drops connection with the memory stick in either of the USB-A expansion cards. The cards are in ports 2 and 4.

I’d hope these will be addressed in a BIOS and/or software update.

I believe they require AC power to wake from a sleeping/ship mode but the battery should be reasonably charged. Was the battery actually once it booted?

Mine also needed to be plugged in but only briefly for turn on and the battery had lots of charge, I think this is normal and deliberate.

That could be the case. It has been long enough now that I don’t remember.

The laptop is set (in Windows) to go to sleep when the lid is closed. I have to do more observation to fully respond. I’ve used USB-C expansion cards in ports 1 and 3 (and charged through them both). Sometimes charging exceeds the set 80% limit when the laptop is sleeping and also when the laptop is powered off.

I use a Samsung FIT Plus 256GB USB-A memory stick in the USB-A expansion cards. I’ve only used ports 2 and 4 for the USB-A expansion cards. I’ve not witnessed loss of connection with USB-C memory sticks in the USB-C expansion cards.

A week later and my first impression is sobering. :thinking:

Compared to my Framework 13 Ryzen 7040 laptop, the performance seems worse.

When I try to play Legion TD 2 or similar games on Steam, the performance is below average
what I would expect in comparing with the same settings, resolution, kernel and Mesa version. Sometimes they are even barely playable.. :roll_eyes:

What experience have you had so far in terms of graphics performance?
