Have you tried getting the current drivers from AMD? They’re newer than the bundle Framework provides and some reports on the forum said that it improves bugs like this.

Framework has said that they don’t strictly follow the batch order, they prepare and ship laptops as they’re build and parts are available. So they might have a temporary shortage or queue for the 7840U mainboard or any of the other part you selected (expansion cards, bezel, keyboard, …).

If you go with AMD you can put DP or HDMI cards in any slots except the front left one. However if you wanted to connect two external monitors I’d probably use DP chaining or an external docking station instead of using up half of the ports with HDMI cards.

Yes, of course you can limit charging if you want to be even more conservative, I’m just saying that leaving at in the default settings is completely fine and won’t cause any damage. Most battery degradation is anyway caused by charge-discharge cycles and not by charging it to 100% and mostly keeping it there.

Afaik it’s damaging the battery if you get close to 100 and 0% of charge.

Not really, Framework has adjusted it so that 100% and 0% are relatively safe levels, it will not get undervolted or overcharged.
