Hi i am studying in engineering and my laptop is breaking down so i need a good one. I thought about an HP but they don't seem that good and figured i would go for a real powerhouse like the next 16 inch AMD framework.

That way i can use the laptop's power to overengineer a literal feeding tube because i can't have the patience of waiting until i've made any food to eat it and would otherwise die from starvation.

Also I grabbed the ram sticks in my great great grandmothers clock, would they be compatible with it??

I personally wouldn't go for batch 9. As an engineer you should get a square number, so you'll need for batch 16.

No, no... 9 is a cube, and thus obviously superior!

Im in batch 9 too. But for 13 inch amd version. Not soon enough. Going from a massive older gaming laptop. Love my wife's intel 11th gen one and having one with a recent decent apu is too good. Didnt like the chin and the cost proposition for 16 inch.

I just hope the 13 amd can run a feeding tube. Also, your grandma's clock has ram? Thats nuts. Is it one of those time traveling clocks? Cause if it is i need to slap the shit out of a younger me.

People in here being too patient and helpful to notice you're memeing is so wholesome

There are no fixed dates, you only could try to extrapolate the date

Have you looked at other Reddit posts concerning this same topic?

They haven’t even shipped batch 1…. You have some tkme

There are many victims of that on here it seems. I was starting to get worried you guys wouldn't ever figure out it was me memeing all along hahah

No idea on whether I can actually offer advice but I’ll just chime in with some sort of anecdote about my totally unrelated Framework product which I love!

batch 9's probably early December

[–] ap_9099@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

This December or next December?

What are the specs of the ram sticks? As long as they are DDR5, but those are way too new to be found in a clock. Unless your grandma is a time traveler and hid ram sticks in her clock. But then you should be careful because it may be future sticks like DDR6 or 7, for which case you can't use in your FW16.

If you don't know what it is because there's no labels, you can always try it when your laptop comes.

As for feeding tube, I'm sure you can just ask someone at your local Home Depot. They usually can help much quicker than waiting for a Batch 9 FW16. Just don't tell them it's for feeding. They must have very powerful computers because they can design and locate the right tube relatively quick.

While you're out there, don't forget to pick up some gift cards. The holidays are coming soon, and you'll never know when some calling you will ask for some too. It will save you a trip and awkward car rides with a stranger holding on the phone with you. I hate those small conversations.
