For now both DIY and prebuild edition (all configurations) are in batch 4 which ships in late Q4 2023.
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.
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.

From the past record, probably not too early.

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!
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.
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.
