I just received my DYI edition. I'm in Canada, and it was shipped 2 days ago. No extra charges. Best logistics experience I had in a while :)

Yeah, parent should probably have acknowledged the current black hole that is the trout sale fedex currently. (Though they did call it purgatory) The current issues there have nothing to do with framework, it’s affecting everyone. My friend recently had their mattress shipment stuck there for over a week.

I kinda wish someone would produce a documentary on what the hell is going on over there.

I can't remember the last time I so badly wanted a company to succeed AND also believed it was possible for them to thrive. I think the landscape is right: awareness of reparability is probably at the highest its ever been, along with access to information and tools. The chip shortage and general lack of breakthrough gains in processing aside from Zen has stalled the upgrade cycles a bit, giving Framework time to dig…

I hope this company grows and never forgets its openness. I'd love to see them absorb an open source phone, like Pine Phone, and create a cohesive open platform and device ecosystem.

Imagine if they grew big enough to buy out Remarkable. Note taking, ebooks, ... I'd love to have all my hardware and productivity tools from an open company and have them all be hackable, extensible, repairable, and interoperable.

Maybe they could even scoop up Mozilla and give everything a singular purpose. Computing as a liberating force yet again.

The entire Pacific Northwest FedEx operation is in shambles. Had several packed over the last few months show up 2-4 weeks late up here in Northern Washington

I can't wait to own one of these when they start offering AMD

Simply out of curiosity, why do you have this sentiment? I've seen it given a lot as the reason why people don't want to buy one yet, but the performance differences are slim compared the current Tiger Lake option; perhaps 10-20% on certain quad core workloads, more if optimized for octa, but worse on single and dual. Additionally, by the time the Ryzen CPU comes along, likely the Alder Lake processor will be release…

The integrated graphics on AMD is more powerful than Intel with better driver stability in games. Framework doesn't have a dedicated GPU to offset that consideration. AMD in current gens has a better performance per watt, cost and core counts. Biggest issue with AMD on laptops is availability of chips and thunderbolt support.

Hard to compare what is coming with what is currently out, so I won't comment on Alder lake/etc. I am really interested how Xe does as a dGPU but that's outside a laptop context.

From what I hear, FedEx nationwide is extremely understaffed and they can't hire enough workers. UPS is also understaffed, but is not having the same issues hiring because they are unionized and offer better pay and benefits.

I'm hoping by the next time I go laptop shopping that they've released a model with more USB C ports. This is phenomenal work though.

More ports? There are 4 slots and you can put in what you want. If you want all 4 to be USB-C you can have that. Are you looking for more than 4 slots? If that's the case you'll have to wait for different processors. I think the ones they are using only support up to 4 slots.

Oh nice, I didn't see options to replace the ports shown in the image with USB C. I'm supposing that's in the configuration wizard when you elect to buy?

I didn't buy one because I am not sure how well the module system works with regards to converting USB-C to HDMI/DP/etc.

In all of my past experience, converting USB to graphics resulted in one problem or another. It's too much complexity for my taste. Am I wrong about how this laptop works though?

I need a USB-A port because I was too stubborn and insisted on using usb-c only ports to my detriment. And it's "coming soon" only! Hope they will be available soon.

You can get a USB-A expansion card with the laptop order, i think its just the one-off marketplace listing thats "coming soon".

Looking to get off Apples ecosystem after their last couple years of privacy debacles etc. I'm also facing a 350eur battery replacement as my mbp trends below 70% life and Apple requires me to replace about half of the laptop to get a new battery.

This is the answer that I've been waiting for.

My MBP is 15" and I prefer the bigger size / spec but this laptop is only 13" and would normally be a dealbreaker for me however, I'm going to put that to one side and jump in as soon as I have the capital. I want to be part of something that I see as good and a move in the right direction for repairability, openness and choice.

I see a lot of people holding off because it needs X or they want an AMD cpu, I just want to say support this team now, they're doing great stuff and we as a community need to back them.
