Most of your components are built into the mainboard. You could choose your own processor, your own RAM, your own hard drive ... But, if you order a laptop online from dell or whatever, you often have the same choices. Good luck building one for less money, too. The primary reason to build yourself is so that you end up with a system with no 'iffy' or proprietary components. This works well for desktops where you can choose every component. Most of a laptop is contained in one board though. If you manage to find a source for that board, it's going to be the same board used in many pre-builts. -Dave |
