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…

    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.

      Gonna see if I can’t get mine fixed first. If not I’ll have to bite the >$1k bullet.

            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.

              My old laptop is DDR4. I Guess I can reuse the SSD so that’ll save me $50…
