      Big-yet-thin, affordable Ryzen laptops with the option to add a real GPU to, that are just as upgradeable (component wise, if not market-availability wise) as a desktop?

      Demand is high. Demand will remain high.

        I can’t be the only one waiting to see more “real people” reviews of production units before plunking down money. I don’t upgrade laptops frequently and I don’t want to buy something buggy (i.e. Linux compatibility for wifi, ACPI, battery life, etc).

        And while I’m waiting, I haven’t looked into a good answer to the USB-C dock story for the AMD versions. I see a lot of ambiguous statements about USB4 “being Thunderbolt” but not a lot of concrete statements on compatibility and capability.

      Previous products took much longer for batches to sell out. Even the AMD framework 13 laptops didn’t sell this fast and they were the #1 thing the community had been asking for for about a year.

      We (sadly) can’t tell how many units are in a batch. But we can tell that demand is far exceeding their expectations.

        At this point idk if it’s exceeding their expectations, they just literally don’t have enough money to invest into more production yet.

        Hopefully that problem will become more and more alleviated as they sell more and more devices.

      Their website crashed shortly after pre-orders went live. Could be a coincidence, could be high demand. Could also be crappy server infrastructure.

      If you find the Linus tech tips video on Linus’s investment in the company, you might see why. Very interesting!

      Yeah, how many batches have sold through doesn’t tell us anything unless we know how many are in each one.
