September/Batch 3 Thread

@jeshikat Already did with a video of the diagnostic blinks so they can verify. It is unfortunate but playing with the expansion cards has been keeping me entertained.

I got my Shipping notification on Friday, Ironically I’ll be in New York City all next week so I’ll have to wait until I get back before I unbox and build this laptop. This has also become my work laptop for my new job, so it’s going to get a lot of daily use. So far thought the experience has been great!

Shipped on Thursday but I haven’t got an update since Friday. Hoping it’s not lost in transit. Can’t wait to finally put the laptop together.

Framework Support team will be replacing my laptop and have already put in the order on my behalf :smile:

Cool! Do you have any idea when you will get it?

I just got my Framework last night! It’s a mid-tier CPU with none of the memory or WiFi. I cannibalized the parts from my old Asus Zen AIO Pro (32GB RAM, 2TB Samsung 950 and whatever WiFi it came with) and installed Qubes 4.1 beta. I’m loving it so far!

@Luke_Graham I have an order number but no tracking number.

Support teams reply below

I will be expediting your order so that you can get the laptop soon.

Which seems consistent with what I’ve read in other threads with people having issues/defects. Hopefully this week :crossed_fingers:

Did you get the actual preparing to ship email or the one saying they are preparing to ship your batch? As I got the latter on the 7th.

I only received the “preparing to ship batch 3” on September 7th.

On my end, I got charged on Wednesday morning, with email saying it will ship in 1-2 days, but no update since then. So I pinged the support to know where it’s at…wait & see

just got my 1185 model, for some reason the physical left and right click aren’t functioning. already reseated the ribbon cables, gonna try reinstalling the drivers next

I got mine on Friday, September 17. I was home sick that day so I’m happy I was there to get it immediately!

I got the DIY version, Core i7 with no vPro wifi, and I brought my own RAM, SSD, and power adapter.

As someone who has tried (and failed) to build a desktop PC before, it seemed a little daunting at first. In the end, it was pretty easy! Framework’s instructions are pretty clear and easy to understand. By far, the hardest part was installing the WiFi card, but i got it in after a few minutes.

In my case, the keyboard/touchpad cable came off when I opened it, but putting it back on wasn’t hard. When I first turned it on and booted into a Win10 install USB, the keyboard and touchpad didn’t work. I might have just been impatient because they both worked after a reboot. I installed the driver bundle and now it works flawlessly!

After 2 days of using it, I am super impressed! After coming from an old HP Compaq 8300 desktop, this is 100% a HUGE upgrade. It’s fast, smooth, and super nice to use. The screen is beautifully crisp with great colors and brightness. The keyboard is so nice, it has great travel with not too much noise. The touchpad is a bit squeaky in my unit but that doesn’t bother me too much.

I’m currently running the Windows 11 beta build and it runs so well! Everything is super fast and smooth and i’m having no issues so far.

Thanks Framework for making a laptop I can count on! Will definitely be sticking with this for a while!

I received mine after lunch. I ordered Aug. 01. I’m very excited :smiley: After putting all together. I installed Almalinux 8.4. Everything worked fine. When I ordered I thought WiFi will not work with Almalinux. Well… its working! Very happy now.

Memory: 16GB (1 x 16GB) DDR4-3200

Framework with Almalinux 8.4

Hello everyone! I placed my order for batch 3 on August 2nd (i7-1165G7). Got my “preparing to ship” email on September 8th, then my order shipped on September 15th and delivered yesterday, September 18th. I am the impatient type when I order something that is months away but I’m glad I only had to wait about a month. I’ve been playing around with this laptop since yesterday and it’s been fun. In the end, it’s just another laptop in terms of usage but I am so glad it exists and hope this company will succeed for a very long time.

I received my DIY edition Framework laptop yesterday on September 18th, and I could not be happier. This far exceeded my expectation and the whole setup took me less than an hour to setup. I did have to setup it up an hour before my 10 hour shift, since it was delivered a day later, but it was not an issue.
I am amazed by the resolution of the screen, the ease of typing, and the features that come along this laptop. Thank you, Framework, for making this product and I hope that everyone in this thread also enjoys their laptop.

Just got my i5 DIY edition set up and I’m loving it! Paired it with 32gb 3200mhz RAM and a 980 Pro 1TB. Definitely one of the nicer laptops I’ve had.

Spent my entire day tweaking my new Framework after delivery, think I got it where I want it! Running Manjaro KDE Plasma, worked great right out of the box. Bluetooth issues seem to be fixed in the latest release. Some pics from assembly, and had to test Steam Remote Play, which ran great. So happy with it!
