2 questions:
1. Have you sent review copies to any independent review channels like LTT, Gamers Nexus, etc etc? I've seen the Tested video but that was in a very controlled environment and I'm mainly waiting on independent reviews before buying one.
2. More of a business question that I'll understand if you don't want to answer, without sharing any actual numbers, has the preorder volume been more or less than you expected?
- nrp 5y agoYes! We can't pre-announce anyone's reviews, but we have sent review units out to a few of the big tech review YouTube channels. The pre-order volume has been roughly in line with our expectations. The one big surprise for us was just how much more popular the Framework Laptop DIY Edition is than the pre-built Framework Laptop. We expected some preference from early adopters, but it's actually multiples of volume.
- TimTheTinker 5y ago> The one big surprise for us was just how much more popular the Framework Laptop DIY Edition is than the pre-built Framework Laptop. I'd suggest the reason is primarily that it's a lot more configurable -- people can get closer to their ideal feature set for the least spend (if only by not paying for Windows if they just want Linux).
- COGlory 5y agoThere is an LTT review up on floatplane. Presumably it will go to YouTube soon. The long short of it is Linus loves it and purchases his own.
- LilBytes 5y agoIs there? I can't see it :-/ Edit: My mistake, look for "A completely upgradeable laptop?"
