For now both DIY and prebuild edition (all configurations) are in batch 4 which ships in late Q4 2023.
Well yea, did you see their blogpost? This thing is the best laptop we’ll see for the next 3 years https://frame.work/blog/framework-laptop-16-pre-orders-are-now-open
Until the next Framework!
Jesus! I clicked pre-order the second I got the email, and I couldn’t even get on the site. LOL
AMD releasing a video talking about the laptop and saying that the Framework 16 AMD Advantage laptop will redefine the gaming laptop: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L9Ww_7wwNkM&t=7s
I mean it’s good news for AMD. The only thing they sell is chips, so if you can upgrade for 1/4 the price of a new laptop and AMDs margins are the same, they make more money 🤷
Yes, I also posted it here https://mander.xyz/post/1224450 It is exciting to see what this collaboration will bring.
Take note you proprietary overlords! The market wants more user repairable parts!!
Wonder if one of my nice, rich friends will buy me one for Christmas? 🤔
Oh yeah, I don’t have any friends! 😳😞 would be fun to get back to being able to build/upgrade stuff though.
Buy a cheap one, upgrade over time gang 💪
The fact that this is possible is incredible.
Batch 4 done. This is going fast! It does seem like they are adding batches though, no? Were there not only 4 batches to begin with? Though it could also just be a display thing.
Very impressive! I would really like to know how many of these (and the framework 13) they are selling.
I’m a little bit salty. When I heard that the pre-orders were open, the current batch was still shipping in Q4. I was busy at the time, so I wasn’t able to place the order. When I got around to it a few hours later, the batch was on 2024 Q1. I wasn’t expecting them to sell out so quickly. I was too slow by a few hours and now I have to wait an extra quarter for the product to ship.
Yeah, I was lucky to get into batch 2…took me a few refresh attempts to even get the landing page to load. Now I’m in the fervently-search-for-a-working-TARDIS stage. (Yes, I know I’m impatient, don’t care lol)
I wonder when in Q4 each batch will be?
From the past record, probably not too early.
Oh well, I’ve waited this long to replace my barely functional laptop, I can wait a few months longer
