Build your own laptop

[Todd a]

This was just a cool article I ran across (of course I put it on the news links on my site yesterday)...

They show you how to build a laptop. These are not for budget laptops, but the compete quite well against high end gaming laptops. He built a P-M 770 with 80GB drive, 2x512MB DDR2, GeForce 6600 with 128MB, 15.4" display, and a DVD burner for $1700.

The like to the chassis was dead when I tried earlier, but a serch for that model found one in no time. ASUS makes a similar one for a Turion64.

todd ive got to give it to you, nice site. do you make any money off of it? and you dont understand the revolution, its a huge upgrade over gcube, main feature being the wifi network. id say nintendo will take at least 25% of the marketshare.

Well, the whole process looks pretty easy. And cost effective. The only limitation is that at this time you wind up buying the Screen, Chassis, Mobo, and GPU all in one bundle. That does sort of limit the overall flexibility. I would prefer they bundle the wireless card and let you pick the video card... but I guess you can't have everything.

As the world slowly goes mobile, hopefully there will be more DYI options for mobile computers. Some T&L chassis might even be possible in the not-too-distant future.
