Record type: source-linked brand reference, not a rating or endorsement. Brand label: Framework. Company name evidence: the 2025 English Framework Laptop 16 user manual carries a Framework Computer Inc. copyright notice; that notice is not, by itself, a complete corporate-registration or trademark search. Market scope: Framework’s English-language company and product pages. Source checked: 2026-10-11, Asia/Manila.
This record maps what Framework’s own pages say about the company and product families, so a reader can select the right first-party document before comparing a particular configuration. The statements below are attributed to the manufacturer. They are not independent verification of corporate operations, repair outcomes, environmental performance, or local product availability.
Identity and company-reported footprint
Framework’s About page says the company started in the San Francisco Bay Area in 2020, set up an office in Taiwan, and is headquartered in San Francisco with a second office in Taipei. The same page says most manufacturing is in Taiwan and that it has warehouses in Taiwan, the United States, and the Netherlands. These are company-reported descriptions; the page does not identify every manufacturing site, contractor, product origin, or country-specific sales arrangement.
The 2025 Framework Laptop 16 English user manual names Framework Computer Inc. in its copyright notice. Use that wording as a source-specific identifier when recording the manual publisher. Do not extend a copyright notice into claims about every seller, subsidiary, trademark owner, or local importer without a corresponding registry or company document.
Product-family timeline reported by Framework
| Year | Company page says | Useful record boundary |
|---|---|---|
| 2020 | Framework says it started in the San Francisco Bay Area and set up an office in Taiwan. | This is the company’s own chronology, not a separately audited incorporation date or manufacturing map. |
| 2021 | Framework says it launched and began shipping Framework Laptop 13. | “Laptop 13” spans later generations; match the processor generation, mainboard, display and market before using a manual or parts page. |
| 2023 | Framework says it added AMD and Intel Laptop 13 options and entered another category with Framework Laptop 16. | A shared family name does not make Laptop 13 and Laptop 16 parts or slot layouts interchangeable. |
| 2025 | Framework says it introduced new generations of Laptop 13 and Laptop 16, plus Laptop 12 and Framework Desktop product lines. | Choose the exact generation and configuration page; the company’s timeline is not a complete catalogue of every regional SKU. |
How to use the source map
- Record the printed product-family name, generation or processor platform, and any model/configuration identifier visible on the device or order record.
- Open the matching Framework product page, user manual, or Knowledge Base entry. Check that its title names the same generation; do not transfer a port, memory, battery, or repair statement from a nearby generation.
- Keep the source URL, page revision or observed date, and market together. If Framework publishes a family page without the needed SKU field, leave that field as Needs editor verification.
What these sources do not establish
- The company’s About page is self-description, not independent confirmation of manufacturing geography, supply-chain partners, repairability outcomes, or environmental impact.
- The product-family timeline does not establish current inventory, delivery dates, prices, warranty eligibility, service access, or parts availability in a reader’s country. A missing market-specific entity or term remains Needs editor verification.
- This source map does not provide a third-party product review, laboratory test, customer-review sample, rating, or recommendation.
Use the site’s brand source index, product records, and methodology to navigate related records. A link to a brand or product record does not imply manufacturer affiliation or endorsement.
