I’m guessing Linus’s investment is safe then :)

I'm really happy they're seeing good demand. Fully upgradable laptops have been a dream of mine for years and I've been thinking when it's time for me to replace mine, the Framework would be at the top of my list.

Next time I need to replace my laptop I'll be getting a Framework if possible. I hate having old electronics go to waste and my devices are usually still in very good condition, just the internals can't keep up, so this sort of laptop was made for me. Plus I love tinkering with electronics and some of those modules look interesting!

Hell yeah Framework deserves all the goodness coming their way. I have an ASUS that's serving me well for now, but I think when I go to replace it next year, they're the ones I'm going to. Hopefully by then, they have AMD boards in the smaller sizes.

I'm glad to see the reception on this. Framework is doing a lot of good to help drive consumers toward more repairable options, and drive competitors to hopefully do the same in the long run. Hats off to them.

They really do produce great hardware, in my dev team we either use MacBooks or Framework Laptops depending on what everyone wants to use. Upgradability is great and everyone is really happy with their device so far.

Batches 4 and 5 are also sold out by now.

Meanwhile, batches 8 and 9 have been added to the list. Looks like they did not anticipate this kind of success.

waits excitedly for Framework to ship in my region

It's fine, my current laptop has a couple of years life left in it. They'll open up orders by then right? Right?

I'm glad they're doing well, sadly Framework isn't available in my country, otherwise I'd consider them for my next laptop.

How many is a "batch" I wonder?

Great to see this news about a company focused on repairability and sustainability .

You can also buy MiniPCs from bee-link or others with same AMD or others powerful ones for cheap, if you don't absolutely need a laptop

I want one so fucking badly, but I can't really justify the cost. But I could... Just... Get one anyway. Somebody help me.

Also, when will they be delivered? Not that quickly I suppose? Edit: I can't read apparently.

I’ve been curious about these framework laptops for a while now. They seem pretty rad, but I really only compute on desktop, have a work provided laptop that could never be this, and the only other computer I need in my life is a Mac for app development, which this can’t fulfill. If I ever need a non-Mac laptop for personal use, framework would be the thing though.

I really hope they are successful, I would get one too if I didnt need a new laptop.

Still have my trusty Lenovo X1 Carbon 5th Gen. Once this laptop dies or my system requiments change, I will get a Framework system.

I actually have no idea what Framework is.

I just looked at the framework site. My wifes laptop died recently and was looking at a new one.

Literally everything from the last year is out of stock new stock is pre-order only.

I think they may have some 11th gen models still.

I just bought the wife a Thinkpad T480 refurb instead for 400 bucks.

Now they're up to Batch 6 (first Q1 batch!)

If I didn't have several laptops already I'd have picked one of these up.

I almost threw my hat in this ring but I must wait on people who use Linux to get ahold of it and review it. Proably an early 2024 buy date for me.
