I'm in batch 8 for one of these and simply can not wait to get to start using it (my current T460s has really started feeling slow in the last year).

I hope you'll write about your experience with the Framework when it arrives. I am still content with my T460s, but it won't last forever.

Fellow batch 8er! I got the 8-core AMD option, super excited. My 2016 Razer finally shat the bed after I attempted to clean the keyboard...now it "turns on" but the fans don't spin and the BIOS never loads. I read it might be the fuses on the motherboard, but I tested them all and continuity is fine. I was originally a bit hesitant to go from a GPU-enabled laptop back to integrated, but realized that almost all the games I played on my laptop didn't need a GPU anyway. My Razer battery would blow up every once in a while and I suspected it had to do with the excessive heat of gaming, so I stopped pushing it. In the meantime I got my desktop set up again (was stuck on Windows 7, now on linux) and got some horrible Asus laptop for when I'm not at my desk. The only thing I'm worried about is all of my current setup is on X and it seems for any real display scaling that Wayland is the way to go, so I'm not excited about switching everything over (I'm on i3 and probably a few other tools/scripts that rely solely on X). I guess we'll see how it works out.

  I've tested using i3 but never fully got into it. But my plan for the F13 is to try out Hyprland[0] and perhaps Sway[1]. [0] https://hyprland.org/ https://hyprland.org/ [1] https://swaywm.org/ https://swaywm.org/
