How difficult is it to build a powerful laptop from parts? How much money can you save if you do this as opposed to buying refurbished or from the shelf? How much would a hi spec laptop cost to build?
Or is upgrading a better option? Can any laptop be upgraded(within reason).
For example, I have a couple of laptops in the house. One is a Dell Latitude D510. It is at its max for RAM which is 2GB. If I change the processor on the motherboard to something faster and more powerful, can I then insert higher RAM power? Can I then install a better graphics card? Or is it more complicated than that? Would I need a new Motherboard to accommodate the faster processor?
