Building A Laptop

[Legion Kreinak]

I know many of us here put together custom computers, those being desktops, but what about notebooks? Is this even possible for a regular layperson to do? Does it require anything special?

First of all you'd have to find a laptop case, and I have no idea where you'd get one of those..also it would probably be pretty expensive.

most computer parts are made to be fit one speicfic outline e.g all hardrives will have similar screw hole placing and will be the same in size. laptop parts are very different. the laptosp ive opened pretty much all look different.

plus, how would u configure the monitor and stuff. I dont think u can build a lap top.

You can buy kits with all compatible parts. But you have to put every little thing in yourself. Ive seen them and their not atcualli all expensive. I know you can do that but I dont think you can go out, buy different parts and throw it all together like a desktop.

Hence the joys of desktops
