    It’s darn near impossible to build a laptop “because” you can find the parts.
    If you're happy and you know it......it's your meds.

    The reason you can build a desktop PC is because the parts have been standardized. You can buy a case from one manufacturer, a motherboard from another, add-in cards, etc. Laptops are proprietary. Since the goal is to put as much functionality into as little case as possible, each manufacturer comes up with their own way of doing things.

    Even if you bought all the pieces to a specific laptop (which you could only get from the manufacturer), your final price tag would be rediculously more than the price of the whole laptop.
