Stonerboy779 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I have heard that there are places to buy parts to build your own laptop. But you are really limited by what they have. Limited yes, overpriced yes, poorly optimized yes, a massive pita yes and is it still better to put up with what you dont have so you can get a decent speced laptop that does what you need while being properly powered and cooled yes.

I have to disagree with you here. Quite a few of the barebone laptops I've built were great and were cheaper then a prebuilt alternative. They were also way less of a PITA then some of the prebuilt laptops I've worked on (especially Toshiba -.-). If you find the right barebone you can build a very decent laptop for a nice price, plus, some people do it just for the DIY experience.

Stonerboy779 Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Toshiba laptops have been easy to pull apart and reasemble in my experience and in Australia building a laptop works out more expensive than buying (150% +) Edit: sorry to turn your for sale thread into a discussion thread TJ Edited January 31, 2012 by Stonerboy779 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjj226_Angel Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 ill submit it to the other mods and see what becomes But part E is pretty clear. Now the fact that it is ther OEM i will have to check on. See it is the C part that gets my attention. The C and E are definitely competing because I am selling OEM software with the hard ware (ie the OEM OS), but because I am selling it OEM, I do not have the disk. That is the part I a getting confused on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tjj226_Angel Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 (edited) Well this post was supposed to be the edited sales thread, which turned into being a duplicated post, which is now useless because I get to sell the drive anyways. So yay!!!!!! :woo: Thanks to all the moderators and people who put in the effort to clean this issue up Edited January 31, 2012 by Tjj226_Angel Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
