How to build a laptop?

Question

I built a computer several months ago and now I want to build a laptop because I find the ones in stores bend a little to teh expensive side.But I already searched andI can't find any of the parts that would be needed to build a laptop. The only thing I ever saw that was closest to a laptop would be just teh RAM.

So can someone tell me if they actually do sell laptop motherboards, shells, processors, and graphic cards in the buff?

And, even if I do have the motherboard, what kind of case would be needed for it to fit?

btw, I just want the computer to be built for basic work and basic gaming. Plus, how do I put the stuff together? (I wouldn't need to know this but answer if you please.)

Also, should I even risk building a laptop? There is always the risk of it blowing in my face. But I also save plenty of money.

* I saved over 500 dollars when building my desktop.

Answer 1

you can go to tigerdirect they have a do it your sefl kit there you can get the parts you want and put it together your self.

Answer 2

Actually, you can build your own laptop.

Start with one of these.. a mini-itx board.  People are using them to build computers inside of toasters, etc.  They come with everything onboard... except RAM.

People have even built their own laptops with these tiny boards.  Look through all the projects (listed on the right) to see some of what you can do with them.

Answer 7

You cannot buy a laptop in component form like you would a desktop PC...the parts are just not available and if they were it would not be cheaper as laptop compnents are notoriously expensive

Building a laptop is far more intricate than building a desktop and unlike the desktops, there is no standard shape for mainboards, screens cases or any other component except the CPU, RAM and Hard Drive.

If you must have a laptop I suggest you buy one from a tier 1 supplier like IBM, Toshiba or HP.
