EternityEight Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 How does building a laptop go? I mean, obviously youd have use different, laptop specific hardware, but is it doable I was going to write some more things to pad out my post, because i hate starting new topics and not writing much, but i cant think of anythign else to say cheers, EE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
O(V)eGA_l2el) Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 I think its possible, but never pursued it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravix Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 Even if it is possible, there isn't much point to it. It won't save you money (in fact, due to the price of individual laptop parts, it would probably end up costing you a lot more), you can't overclock it, (overclocking a laptop? pfft) and the working space inside laptops is horrid. If your interested with a laptop, stick with the prebuilt ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gigashadow Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 I agree building a laptop is pointless. I just repaired two of them this week and they blow there's no room for extras and the parts are outragous in pricing. There actually in my opinion just as easy to work on as a tower, in fact i tore these two compaqs down in less time than it takes to do a tower had them fixed and back together in under an hour, both of them. But ya it would be pointless to build one, your better off going to buy one and have the warrenty to cover repairs of the over priced crappy parts. Oh but if your really interested in doing it, then I would say get as much crap from ebay as you can and go from there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VolcomPimp Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 ya Ive looked around... my advice is either get an alienware laptop, or a really good name brand laptop like a thinkpad or a sony... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sly_C Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 yeah i would say if u wanna go small to let the professional prebuitl people do. i mean even in pc's like the shuttle cases its still pretty hard to get them cooled and such a small space. but it can be done.

Some_Guy_ Posted December 5, 2003 Posted December 5, 2003 I think the only way to be sure to get everything to fit in is to use all IBM (or all HP, or all Compaq) parts... so you may as well buy the IBM or HP... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
