i do know that there are posts in the past about building a laptop yourself, but i have a few specific questions:
first: why do they sell laptop parts at places like newegg (like the processor and ram) if you cannot upgrade your motherboard? I'm not very educated when it comes to laptops, but i don't understand who could even put a new processor in a laptop, because most are pretty securly sealed shut... would you hire a professional to take it open or send it to the manufactures?
second, why haven't some of the hardware companies steped in and made some standards for laptops, then manufactured the parts to buy individually and put together? all they have to do is make a "normal" case-screen combo, average size motherboard, etc etc.
third, are there any plans in the future that you know about that companies will start doing this in one way or another..? because to me it seems like they would make a lot of money from people like me who want to customize a laptop as well as their home computer (for "static studies").
thanks
