Im bored of assembling desktops so I want to assemble my owh laptop/notebook. Now obviously im not going to get custom made plastic to house all of this but I want to get as close to it as possible and I need help;

first off, the mobile processors come with a fan/heatsink, right? how big are they in comparison to desktop heat sinks/fans? can an intel mobile cpu operare without heatsink/fan? how do major corporations manage to squeze in heatsinks/fans into the cases? are they custom-made?

secondly, what about PSU's? are there any "micro-psus"? how do the major brands get theirs?

Regards, BOB

here is a link to customize a notebook.... You have the choice to assemble it yourself, or let them do it for $50.00.... If I ever did it I would probably pick an MSI barebone notebook from the list.... Overall you are not really saving any money, that is why not many people do it this way.... But I think about doing it all the time....

The major brands get theirs like this.

Quote :

Clevo, makes the Sager NP9750, Voodoo Envy u:709, Alienware Aurora m7700, Hypersonic Aviator FX7 and they are all the same laptops from Clevo, although the Sager version usually has the latest technology and best prices. Clevo also makes Sager NP9890, Falcon Northwest FragBook DR6800, Alienware MJ-12 m7700i, Voodoo Envy u:703, Hypersonic Aviator EX7 and are also all the same laptops from Clevo Two last example from Clevo would be the Sager NP5950 which is the same as the Alienware Aurora mALX 19" SLI and the Sager NP5760 which is the same as the Voodoo Envy u:734; which both are from Clevo. Some of these companies only change the exterior of the machine (custom painting and graphics) while the internal "guts" of the machine are identical from each company marketing the laptop.

Clevo makes many different models in addition to the prior mentioned models such as the Sager NP5750, Sager NP5460, Sager NP3880 and the Sager NP6630. Clevo is one of the world's most preferred ODM partners and markets their products in more than 50 countries, and have established service centers in the USA , Germany , Britain , China , and Taiwan. Sager is a well-respected boutique brand that offers high-performance laptop's for power users at reasonable prices since 1985. Sager has a sister company named Pro-Star that markets the same Clevo laptops.

Compal, is famous for making select models that Dell, HP & Compaq market. Xotic PC provides laptops from Compal, such as the Force 3290 (Built on Compal HEL80), Force 3260 (Built on Compal HEL81) and the Force 3240 (Built on Compal HGL30). Compal is the world's 2nd largest laptop maker that have designed and built laptops for all of the major brands as well as custom builders for over 22 years.

Quanta, makes laptops for Dell's Latitude line, Sony's Vaio series and most of IBM's (Levnovo) laptops. ....... Quanta is the world’s largest laptop maker today.

Uniwill is not as well known as other ODM's but is known for making the Alienware Area 51 m5500 ..... The Uniwill name has become synonymous in the laptop computer industry through supplying laptop computers to the largest computer manufacturers in North America, Europe, and Asia.

ASUS is the only major brand that makes their own laptops.. Asus is know worldwide for their motherboards, video cards and other PC components. Asus makes two separate lines called the "Ensemble" and the "Built on Asus".
