Go to HP.com or dell.com and go crazy with their RAM options. You can even put really fast internet in your laptop there

This. Assuming that you can even find all the parts... assembly is hell.

Don't do it man!

RAM and HDD/SSD are useless if you have a slow CPU.

@TC, you say youve been doing it for 5yrs, and you didn't know you can't build a laptop.

Still dont see your point, SSD's are expensive, especially laptop ones, and its alot smaller than the HDD in there already.

Also most people don't use more than 6GB or so, anymore than 10GBand you actually lose performance in games, its meant for design work, and you shouldn't use a laptop for that anyway.

I am just talking by experience i had with my fiends laptop. It was a dell inspiron. It was going so slow. i got an ssd and maxed the ram and its is the fastest laptop i have ever seen before. And besides he isnt using it for games.

Most SSDs come in a standard SATA 2.5 configuration. They will fit in laptops, just replace your old hard drive.

Its amazing just how inaccurate this thread is. You can build your own laptop, but the total sum of the parts will be more than buying a laptop off the shelf. If you want to build your own, look for whitebox kits from Sager or MSI. On a side note, I suggest taking a look at Xotic PC. They have a very wide selection of customizable laptops, and they build them for you.

Pop it into the optical bay and use it as a boot drive. Really speeds up your system. Or if you're lucky, the notebook will have 2 drive bays.
