You are now in line. Thank you for your patience. Your estimated wait time is 8 minutes. Thanks Cloudflare, I almost considered buying a framework.

I just watched my wait time GO UP, from 2 mins to 3, I think I've had the tab open longer than the initial 7 minutes what is this garbage?

Mine went to 16 minutes.

You can't wait 8 minutes to make a computer buying decision? lol

Why should I wait? If I can't access the site to make a buying decision, imagine if I had a technical issue or needed support? Am I supposed to wait every time?

No thanks.

This is not a standard issue. They just had a large event, so a lot more people are trying to use the site relative to their standard visitor count. Traffic will probably be back down to standard levels in the next few hours, if you're able to wait that long without having a heart attack.

That's so bad for the launch... Especially since the landing page should be static, cached, and as easy to serve as the queue page.

FFS, it took me to the desktop thing, which I didn't care about, so I clicked "Framework 12" which I do care about.

Now I'm staring at:

I'm done, I'll see it when I see it, if I do.

Framework really had a flop of an announcement here this is a mess.

I just wish Framework Laptop 16 wasn't as bulky. I already have a 14" laptop and looking for a larger screen size because coding on 14" screen is limiting, I can barely squeeze 2 code windows in a vertical split. I would also like to have a local GPU with Pytorch support which I'm not sure I can get with the available Radeon RX 7700s.

Hoping for more details soon on mainboard compatibility between the Framework 12 and 13. If I can buy just this chassis, but move over all of my existing internals from my Framework 13, I might.

I'm pretty sure they aren't compatible. One difference for example is that the 12" uses pogo pins to connect the keyboard to the mainboard, instead of the ribbon cable in the 13". It seems to be an entirely different board.
