I was blessed with the financial ability to select the top tier components for my DIY Edition which allowed me to be able to slide into batch 3 before they sold out. Because of this I did not have to wait nearly as long a lot of people ( ~21 Days start to finish). In that time I have grown to love this community (especially this “support group” 
) and build anticipation for my laptop. TBH waiting for it to come in would have been WAY less fun and exciting without the community.
The two issues I had throughout the process were:
-
A little less communication during the shipping soon/billing notification than I would have liked.
-
Dealing with FedEx who is probably the worst parcel service out there ranking even below USPS In my opinion (see This Forum).
Besides that, the process while a little long was great thanks to all of you and the hard work the Framework team put into this product and company. The packaging was also amazingly all sustainable products. There was only one piece of plastic from Framework and that was the little shipping air bags and then some plastic parts they did not package themselves.
The build process and was super simple while following their guide. The only tricky part is the Wi-Fi Module. The only problems i encountered were with Microsoft and were resolved after some tinkering.
I’m currently running through and installing my applications and setting up my preferences so I have not gotten chance to do any major testing but so far so good!
Thank you Community, and thank you Framwork!
