For those waiting for the reviews to come out before pre-ordering, how many times have you custimized a machine? I’m referring to this page here. I think I’m on like 12, maybe more 😝. It’s too much fun to customize something, pick out all the specs I want, and then close the page. One day I’ll press order, but not yet. Patience is virtue…
did this once rn and just noticed how pricey it can get outside the us, heres hoping it gets better by the time i need a new computer.
i think the last thing the framework needs to be a true killer is 3rd party adoption of their standards, like aibs and such. is this too much of a pipe dream?

I don’t believe in pre-ordering, so I bought a framework from the ships immediately pile. I was in your situation, my last laptop had died and i needed a new one. I just speced out “good enough”, and ordered. I’m still quite happy with my framework 13.

The framework 13 is shipping today, you can buy the base configuration for 850 USD and then upgrade later. just a option

Also apart from the expansion cards, the ram and SSD are quite cheaper to get elsewhere, especially if you can reuse your old laptop’s. So it’s still possible to get a sub 1k config.

Get one second hand
It’s already pretty hard to get new. I doubt I would be able to find one used where I live. But then again I hope this pricing/availability issue is solved soon.
