I was planning to pre-order the Framework 16 for next year, but my old computer just bricked on me :(

Of course, I need a computer asap for school and my projects, and the Framework 16 only ships in march-april. What’s your experience with shipping delays of your orders ? Is there a secondary market where previous batches are still available ? Am I missing something here ?

I could buy an off-the-shelf computer, but I’m not keen on it and would rather avoid waiting 4-5 (the lifespan of this new computer) more years before getting my Framework.

    Grab something cheap like a used ThinkPad, then move it on in a few months when you can get the FW16?

    $/£200 would get you a 4 year old quad core machine that’s come off lease.
