The magnetic Framework Bezel is one of the easiest components to swap. No tools needed, just align it to the Display and you are all set. We plan on having more color options as we go so that you can further customize your very own Framework Laptop.

  1. Open the Framework Laptop 180 degrees to remove the Bezel. The Framework Bezel is attached by magnets so you will not require any tools to remove it.  Just use your fingernail and pry the Bezel away from the display from one of the top corners of the Framework Laptop. Once the Bezel starts peeling off towards the bottom of the Display, lift it up using caution.  You might feel a little resistance due to the adhesive at the bottom of the display.
