That is great! When the fuck can i buy one?
Been two years now since i first heard about Framework from the first LTT video on it (just checked at that video actualy came out in july 2021), and i was allready looking at replacing my laptop, so i thought Framework would be great to get.
Now two years have passed, and they still aren't available in my region. Couldn't realy delay the replacement any more, so now i have ended up getting a different laptop, meaning even i Framework became available here soon, i won't buy a new laptop for 5-6 years at least.
What is your region?
Northern Europe.
Last i checked (a couple of months back), they were finaly working on keyboard layouts for the area, but still no info on when te laptops would be available around here.
Have you considered a parcel forwarding service?
Sure you may need to shovel an extra 50, but might be worth it. They're on sale in Germany and France, for example.
I did, when I realised it would take a while and started looking elsewhere.
But since they officialy do not condone it, and have some language in their TOS and warranty, i didn't bother with it, since while anything they might do against it in regards to warranty wouldn't hold up in a legal sense, i didn't want to be the one to test that if it should happen.
Indeed I have placed a pre order today and noticed that disclaimer as well.
Funny, over here in central Europe, I had no problem at all...
Probably because they have released in the major central european countries: https://knowledgebase.frame.work/what-countries-and-regions-do-you-ship-to-r1899ikiO
