Hello, my fellow Framework-ians!

I have had my eye on these for quite a while now, but a stretch of unemployment and, well, you know.

Lucky me started my new job this week, and yes, I AM thankful! Combine that with the email earlier this week about the outlet laptops, and I am proud to say that I just ordered my new laptop! It is a bit underpowered from where I would prefer it, but that's the nicest thing about these. Upgrades, upgrades, and upgrades!

Now, I just have to wait until it gets here...

Wooo congratulations. I wouldn't even say anything in outlet is that underpowered for most tasks, unless you are in design or development or something.

But as you say, upgrades is the name of the game. Save up and build up as it should be!

Congrats mate! After the 14 gen and next amd mainboards should be able to pick up 13th gen or ryzen option for pretty cheap. My wife is still rocking an 11th gen intel from initial framework offering and been great.
