Re: Truly Custom Laptops
If you are looking for a high performing laptop, you really shouldn't expect to pay anything under $1000. With a few exceptions being the gateway laptop series, and a few others.
In reality, I have been looking for a very nice laptop for under $3k for a while now. I'm looking at the OCZ ati crossfire barebones, but to put graphics processors in it is just another $1k!!!
It's like JFK announcing the moon mission. He had no expertise in space travel, and no way of knowing if it would work. He just announced "we're going to the moon" and then they made it happen because everyone was on the same page and working towards the same goal. If he had said "well, let's get some people in space, and we'll see how far out we can get, and if I find someone to make a rocket strong enough, we could possibly approach the moon's orbit and maybe land" it wouldn't have happened.

You might be able to pick up a used Asus G51 or something like that for under $800, and that's still a plenty potent machine.

Get a bunch of modders mesh and build your own using desktop parts. Then all you need is to carry around a backpack of batteries... Okay, thatveas just a bad idea to begin with. I just think an all modders mesh laptop would look cool. :p
Your best bet is to just by used, if you're looking to save $$.
People are stupid; given proper motivation, almost anyone will believe almost anything. Because people are stupid, they will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true. People’s heads are full of knowledge, facts, and beliefs, and most of it is false, yet they think it all true. People are stupid; they can only rarely tell the difference between a lie and the truth, and yet they are confident they can, and so are all the easier to fool.
Re: Truly Custom Laptops
I just found this site, and it's amazing. I don't know how safe it is though.

A "whois" look up finds and a simple call finds it to be safe, but I'm still not sure.

Re: Truly Custom Laptops
Nice find. They even have MXM cards.
For anyone wondering, Clevo is kinda like Compal; they make laptops for a bunch of different OEMs. IDK who all sources from Clevo, I know at least Sager does, and they're very well built machines.
EDIT:
Found the lists on their product pages on rjtech. Not comprehensive, but gives a good ballpark:
Clevo:
Sager, VoodooPC, Falcon Northwest, Eurocom
Compal:
Acer Inc., Dell, Toshiba, Hewlett-Packard, Fujitsu Siemens, Dell, Hewlett-Packard and Compaq (also, Apple, I happen to know)

Re: Truly Custom Laptops
Clevo and Compal FTW. Both are solid (when sold as their own branding.)
Re: Truly Custom Laptops
Hello friend,
I think you will have to compensate with the price of an custom laptop because since they are fixing the device as per your configuration(like assembled pc) which is a rare thing.Hence the total cost prise is definitely gonna increase rather then getting within your budget.

How do you add parts to this?

Re: Truly Custom Laptops
I dont think this is the OCZ bare bones kit, but I imagine it would be very similar.
