Custom made laptop

Hi all,

I am interested in any recommendations for companies that make custom laptops.

I'm after a decent spec, any recommendations of companies will be appreciated.

I know of Dell obviously and have seen pcspecialist.co.uk and Alienware

I was going to post in the IT section but many people know about this topic :)

Cheers!
 
Cheers all,

Reason for custom was due to the fact that I want a decent spec and they tend to be cheaper.

I am after:

dual-core 2.4Ghz at least
1GB Ram minimum
15"/17" widescreen
Fairly light weight
Looks half decent and isn't a brick...

Can get a Dell for around £758 all in


Cheers

Stefan the one I showed you was a low-price machine. For the budget you have, you should easily get one much higher spec.

I would still stick to one of the bigger brand names, as that way they are likely to be a little more reliable. Laptops are notorious for breaking down, if our weekly repairs are anything to go by :)

Cheers, looks like I'll be heading down the Dell/Pcspecialist route. With them 2 companies being big enough and reliable enough, shouldn't be a problem. I'll probably post the spec on here when I come to buying.

Cheers

With PCSPecialist note that higher end laptops use better motherboards so you can end up paying more for a computer with the same specs because of that, so only choose what is required.

PCSpecialist I think are supposed to be OK
there's a link here (PCPro vendor forum - sorry can't post link as newbie) that says they can take their time building and delivering a PC (desktop)

maybe worth asking if they have the necessary components in stock and how long they take to deliver .. not that I suppose their answer is legally binding

With a desktop depending on the time i think it takes them upto 2 weeks to make and deliver a desktop.
