Placing a Framework 13 on top of another (lemmy.wtf)

When placing a Framework 13 on top of another Framework 13 laptop, the screen will turn off. How come?

I wonder if it's detecting a magnet at the front edge from the closed lid of the notebook underneath, telling the system on top that the lid is closed?

That sure seems likely. A neodymium waved around in the right place would confirm.

95% this. I've done the same thing with my lenovo when I pushed it up against my speaker.

The magnet on my watch band makes my Framework 13 go to sleep sometimes. It was so annoying I got a different band.

weird, the laptops I've seen have magnets on the palmrest instead of the bezel, I guess it's just reversed on the framework?

The bezel is attached with magnets so you can change it out for another color (or access the webcam module easily). So that'd probably be why.
