== Background ==

Released in January 2024, the 16" Framework Laptop is Framework's largest, fully reconfigurable laptop. Unlike the standard 13" Framework laptop, the 16" Framework laptop features six module bays, along with an expansion bay system designated for graphics cards. The keyboard and trackpad are also modular, and can even be offset.

Beyond the hardware itself, Framework's developer program allows you to get started with designing Input Modules and Expansion Bay Modules with open source design documentation available on [link|https://github.com/frameworkcomputer/|Framework's official GitHub Page].

Since the laptop is highly customizable, the price can fluctuate based on what specifications and operating system you want. The baseline version of the DIY model starts at $1,399 USD.

== Identification ==

The 16" Framework laptop is fully customizable, so the components may differ depending on the build. However, there are certain features that are consistent for all devices:

* The case is a silver, with a distinct gear-shaped logo on the top cover.
* The bezel around the screen is magnetic and can be switched out easily with different color options (currently black, orange, and lavender).
* You will find the serial and model number either on your laptop's original box or on the metal midframe under the trackpad:
