Hi, John: I'm afraid that building a custom laptop is virtually impossible. Even though you can get all the parts, you need a suitable case, and these aren't of the shelf items. Creating a case to specs is a would cost literally hundreds of thousands of dollars. So, I think laptops will need to be pretty much off the shelf purchases. It's totaly the opposite situation of building your own desktop/tower system. Janina John J. Boyer writes: > Hi Janina, > > Building or rather designing my own computer would be fun.
