"If you plan to build your own notebook, there is some bad news: it isn’t for the faint of heart. Although assembling a desktop computer is very straightforward and isn’t much more difficult than assembling Lego blocks, laptops are quite a different story. Most laptops are made with proprietary parts, and you simply can’t buy as many laptop components off the shelf as you can with desktop parts. If you want a customized laptop, you can get one without building it yourself."
