Originally posted by biz-engineer What about risks of getting one of those bad production batches
Originally posted by steephill Pre-order just means you are at the front of the queue. Warranty is identical and bad production batches can happen at any time.
There's always a greater risk of issues with the earliest production runs. That's the price you pay for being an early adopter of any new product. I think the risk is pretty low, though. Most products are remarkably well-sorted these days from a hardware perspective, and if there
are any issues, they're most likely addressable in firmware. That said, whilst we need folks to jump in and buy those early batches, I'm no longer one of them. I'd rather wait 6 - 12 months and see if any issues transpire...
