I thought about going with Bubblegum, but in the end I switched to the simple and nice black design. I think I would’ve preferred bubble gum if the light cyan color would be more like the lavender blue. Kinda like this:
There is no major difference, however black/gray is a different batch pipeline than the other three colors and the first batches of black/gray were expected a month earlier than the other colors. Possibly because the premade ones and the business/education customers were getting black and were prioritized.
So if anything, switching the black or gray could speed things up, but it’s probably not a good idea as you’ll loose your existing place in the queue.
Same here. Would have loved Bubblegum, but in the end was tempted by the earlier shipping date of Gray. On the other hand - if they launch a new line of motherboards for the 12 in the future I’ll most likely get a whole other machine and retire the Gray one with someone in the family.
The idea of a purple laptop is too alluring for me to pass up, but considering my current computer is really on its last leg I am SO jealous of the black/ gray batch customers
I think this makes it more personal and interactive on a community forum. Rather than just saying, “Here’s a stat,” a poll allows people to share their choice, which better opens up the discussion for people to participate and chat. Also, as people continue to place pre-orders they can weigh in on the poll, so data can continue to be added over time, vs. having to keep checking the order stats on the back end and manually update the numbers in this thread over time.
I suppose it’s possible Framework would entertain sharing percentages, but I’m almost certain they wouldn’t share the actual numbers of each color ordered. They don’t publicly share total numbers of pre-orders or sales.
This is not the sales data, this is just a community poll I’m not even sure if the popularity ranking (Sage>Bubblegum>Gray>Lavender>Black) here is the same as sales data
I personally wanted to know who has the best taste (Bubblegum and Lavender).
and most importantly, this gives us an opportunity to chat about the colors and I’ll share the valuable feedback from our community members with our internal teams. You can’t do this with depersonalized stats.
I would have had great taste, but the boring non-colors being available earlier is what made me weak. Hope we get an update about projected shipping weeks next month. I’m travelling all July - ideally with the 12 - and might switch to a more exciting color if it does not look like it will arrive in time.
I chose gray, because it has black “bumpers” in the outside. Why black bumpers? I expect the bumpers to get dirty over time, so black clearly ist the best decision.
Gray ist also matching the keyboard and the whole laptop does look more professional.
Furthermore, it’s a light colour, so it maybe won’t heat up too much when using outside in the sun.
Are their going to be more keyboard colors to match the bodies? Currently there is just the lavendar and grey, but i want a bubblegum one for my bugglegum.
