I was wondering if anyone from this board knows of a place that can build custom made laptops, now im talking about building a laptop with good quality parts, no dell, HP, or any of those lower quality builds. Only places I can find are in the states, but i dont want to pay the extra customs and fees that come with the package.
Willing to spend $2000 or more, something equivalent to a macbook pro or better perferably. |

its pretty obvious when it says 'HP recommends windows vista home premium' at the top right corner.

why? i dont want a macbook. Too expensive and not worth the money with the specs you get.
Here's a website I found:

| Well Dell and HP is not really lower quality stuff...you can go to www.alienware.com and still find some great custom built laptops for good prices. |

there are tons of computer stores that build a computer for you with whatever specs.. not sure about a laptop though because it is much tougher to do but you can always try to walk in and talk to someone.
i know of one store on bathurst and steeles, around there. |

The new Envy 14 and Envy 17 just came out (in the US). I'm in the process of getting a custom Envy 14. Looks good, significantly cheaper, and better specs than you can get on a Macbook Pro.
Do people still build their own laptops? Seems as though you would end up with something huge, since you would have to get some generic housing and not a nice thin laptop that has been engineered from the ground up. |

i was thinking the same thing, it would very tough and time consuming and would cost probably more than 2k for that. if you want a good laptop i'd recommend a lenovo or sony (if you like more stylish look) |

Unless you're going for a laptop for gaming, you should be fine with a high end prebuilt laptop.
Toshiba has the best track record based on a test done by tomshardware (cant find the link) HP/Compaq scored the lowest. Ive owned a toshiba netbook for the last year and its been through everything and is still working fine.
Something like this is incredibly powerful and around 2g's
