Can't say I wasn't expecting this. We haven't had the last of the deep-dive posts, and the setbacks to AMD 13 looked from the outside to be (rightly) taking up huge amounts of attention. The rumored Mid-November start date that floated around was never going to happen.

I wonder what counts as 'substantial Q4 units' means in this context? Are we talking like, review units only before new years? Or will they have things going, just pushed back a little?

Not going to lie, I'm pretty bummed out. I just snuck into batch 5 to hopefully get mine before Christmas, and now it's not gonna happen. Doubly annoying since my current laptop is -unironically- held together with duct tape.

Please don't get me wrong - FW's transparency and mindset here is absolutely top-notch, and I'm 100% behind it. And to paraphrase their reasoning, I'd rather have a quality product tomorrow than a piece of crap today.
