Batch 5 feeling VERY nice
Yeah same, curious what did you pick and why?
Ryzen 7 DIY(No ram/storage), because i can get ram and storage cheaper and better, and I bought it for use in uni.
Just canceled my batch 5. Decided on the F16 instead without a dgpu for now. Hope it starts shipping soon.
Dude, I am batch 8, but only ordered mine 9 days ago. I am really excited about how fast they are moving through the batches.

Ooh. They're fast. You think they'll get through all the batches before December?
All of the batches are supposed to ship by the end of this year.
I have a 2TB SKhynix P41 Platinum SSD and 32GB of G.Skill DDR5-5600 CL40 memory to slap in as soon as it arrives. Thanks to Amazon Prime sales, I was able to get everything I need for it for quite cheap, compared to Framework's prices.
I got the 1TB skhynix p41 platinum, and 32GB of crucial 5600, probably on the same sale :) very excited to get the batch 4 email
Also just ordered Win 11 Pro and a dbrand Obsidian skin for it!
Still waiting on my Batch 3 AMD main board. 🤨
Ok lads. Do we think they're gonna fulfill all FW13 pre-orders before they start doing the 16s, or will they start the 16s soon?
I can see it going either way. Batches are about a week apart now, so they'd be done by end of November at current pace I think. Although... Thanksgiving? Then in Dec they need to get out ~4 FW16 batches? But I'm not sure how many FW16 batches are slated for Q4, and also.... Xmas.
So it looks like it kinda just barely works to do all the 13s then all the 16s. But realistically I'd expect them to try and to push out FW16 batches 1&2 in Nov, then work on ramping up 16s as they ramp down the 13s.
So... does this mean batch 8 is likely to ship in Q4 2024?
Maybe, some people are still waiting between batch 2 & 3
I wonder if it is really realistic that Batch 9 will really ship in Q4 2023.
