Hello, I was just googling how much it would cost to make your own laptop and I didn't find much on first few links and didn't continue much further, but i nthose first links, I came across an Asus barebones laptop that costs about 600 or so dollars. I'm thinking you can buy a laptop or a full windows 8 tablet for that price. I know people may have done this in the past, but does anyone really make their own laptops anymore when you might be able to find better deals just getting a ready made laptop?
