Field notes
The catalog groups 14 builds into four named drops and includes a comparison view with fields for status, lead time, base hardware, modification, value, and bench hours. Its process description starts with serial and battery checks, then says stock firmware is imaged and retained before unlocking. Individual listings show mixed availability: some are in stock, while others have limited quantities, reservation openings, or waitlists.
