Tips For Customizing Your Laptop
Are you tired of the retail laptops and their limitations? Tired of customer support calls and the long queues? Why don’t you start building your own laptop?
The first and most important step of building own laptop is to know how you want to use it. You select the parts and components based on what you need.
• A processor – Intel (forget about AMD!)
• RAM – for multimedia usage up to 4GB DDR3, for high performance 6GB or 8GB DDR3 is recommended.
• Hard Drive – You should check the barebone notebook for the supported hard drive type and preferably it is SATA
• Ethernet Card
• A DVD/Blu-ray writer.
• Graphics Card – If you are full time gamer else the build in Processor graphics would do.
Please note that the barebone note book you purchase should be compatible with the above parts.
The following are the steps to assemble the laptop:
• From the barebone notebook, remove the cooling system and install the processor.
• Find the graphics card socket and install the new card in the slot.
• Now put back the cooling system over the processor.
• Just adjacent to the processor slot, you should find a rail of opening where your RAM chip would fit in. Make sure the RAM sits evenly on the rails.
• Place the hard disk in the provided slot and make sure it is placed completely flat and belted over.
• Lastly, install the Ethernet card and the DVD/Blu-ray drive as they are self-explanatory.
Put the battery back on the panel and switch on the machine and you can install the operating system of your choice.
