Welcome to Framework; please hold.

I guess people are pretty interested in Framework’s new Strix Halo desktop, Strix Point 13-inch (it’s translucent!) and 12-inch convertible laptop, because I’ve never been put on hold to visit a dang website before.

My colleagues who are veterans of the PS5 restock wars tell me this is normal. Y’all are really out here waiting in line online?

TEXT: You are now in line.Thank you for your patience.Your estimated wait time is 17 minutes.We are experiencing a high volume of traffic and using a virtual queue to limit the amount of users on the website at the same time. This will ensure you have the best possible online experience.This page will automatically refresh, please do not close your browser.
This is a new one on me.
