About Building Laptops
Building your own laptop is almost impossible unfortunately,
due to the fact it is not supported by computer manufacturers.
It is difficult in finding parts to build your own laptop from
scratch, and there is no step-by-step guides to provide you
with the instructions to put the laptop together. The structure
of a laptop is far more advanced than a regular PC.
You can easily buy a built laptop or customize a brand name
manufacturer's laptop... but you cannot easily build you own
laptop.
You can get parts like the hard drive and memory which are easily
available in the market. However, you'll have a very tough time
getting the right chassis, hinges, motherboard, LCD screen,
and touchpad and so on. And even if you get them, likely they'll
be used parts or outdated. For the same total price you can
get a complete old laptop, which is why we wouldn't advise considering
construction of your own laptop..
Laptop parts
There
are very few places that specialize in laptop parts, and you
can try them but you'll not find what is required and the selection
is very limited ... and you won't be able to build an up-to-date
Pentium 4 or equal laptop. If you are simply after replacement
of parts, you should simply visit a repair centre or specialist
laptop engineer.

Some other places you find that are specialized in laptop repair
may be willing to let you fix the problem yourself. These places
sometimes have access to more parts but they will be used and
most may not be for sale (for replacement or repair only). If
they have a overstock, they may consider selling you what you
need - but more than likely they will advise you to buy a used
laptop instead.
You cannot buy Dell parts from
Dell, or IBM parts from IBM...
You could try to shop for laptop parts on different websites
online like on Ebay or Sell.com, but again this may be more
hassle than it's worth.
Getting a custom built laptop
You can search for these in various search engines and find
a few companies that specialize in custom built laptops. They
will have plenty of options for you to choose from. Find more
information on how to build your own laptop through customization
in various online search engines.
