It is effectively impossible to build your own laptop without amazing skills and knowledge.
If you knew enough to know how hard it is you wouldn't be asking this question here.
Just go buy one.

It is a cheaper buy a laptop than getting to DIY a laptop.
It is not easy to get the right connection from board to board. No to mention to get the right size casing for the assemble parts.
Unless you are going to buy a Dell's LCD with casing, and assemble with Fujitsu's body.

Aint gonna happen! I dont recollect ANY kits even! A laptop is a different bird than a desktop! Everything is designed to fit compactly in a small amount of space. You could order the parts for a particular make tho (for about 4 times the price of a pre built one)!

Well let me clear things for you, First of all, no you cannot, the casing is most important since it covers everything, and how are you going to take the screen, the rams and mothersboards with proccessors are whole different things, maybe not even compatible, nontheless, just sell the dead things and get some money (borrow, save) And buy a new one. Macs are not great, and they got bad compability bro, sorry but thats the truth.

Please do not assemble a laptop... its first of all an expensive product and replacing parts will prove expensive... I'd suggest to buy a Dell laptop and u can CUSTOMIZE it before u buy- check at www.dell.com I have a customised dell laptop and it work real great.... and the tech support and service they give is excellent... you also get (and can extend) your onsite warranty.

The advantage to building your own system is you can put whatever you want, massive memory, nice graphics card, fast processor, etc., Just costs more, unless you have many parts already.
It's so much easier than people think to build computers, and it's fun as h*ll too! As far as a laptop goes, if you can get the components (hardware and casing) to do so and if you know just a tiny bit about configuring bios for set up... and installing the OS, try it!
I Just read Jan's. she is wrong, well maybe not wrong, I just have been building computers from nothing for years, so it's as easy to me as washing dishes.
Why the thumbs down? What did I do? You can build a laptop and it's not that hard, and it IS fun and EASY! Don't be so negative. You can get a gutted out case and add your own stuff! I prefer building my own computers anyway, they are way better than what you get off the shelf!

you can rebuild them, I've done that. In fact the one I'm using now is one my mother bought my nephew and he burnt the motherboard with an errant glass of coke. I bought parts from ebay and brought it back from the dead.
I don't see how you are going to build one from scatch.

Not cheaper and is more difficult than it is worth.
