I'm now waiting for over a year for this laptop to be available in my country.

Would still really like to order one, but my patience is running out, don't have a laptop currently.

EDIT: I sound very pissed off. I know that it's hard to ship to lots of countries, it's just frustrating for me to not even have an estimation. Will I be able to buy it in 3 or 6 months? Or does it take another year? no idea.

If you're fine with import tax and an American keyboard, there are services [0] that provide you with an American address and send any packets that arrive there to you via international shipping.

I even want an US-Layout, so that's fine.

Wouldn't even have to buy it from the US. Framework sells their laptops in Germany, which is right next to me.

But that means that I have to ship the laptop back to Germany for warranty-related stuff etc.

I never understood this. Why don't companies offer international keyboards in their online american store? It should be especially easy for framework to do this since they already customize their offers/sell kits.
