If you mean can you build your own, no.

I've only known one person who owned a personally-built laptop. But she didn't remember the name of the person who built it.
I think it's really impractical. The parts for laptops are not as universal as they are for desktops. Probably the only internal components that are interchangeable in most models these days are the hard drive and RAM. The rest is usually designed for a specific company's model.
These days, even desktops can be the same price or cheaper buying already built than building your own (depending on what you want in your pc and what you already have to use*). A laptop would definitely be cheaper.
*I do prefer building my own desktop, but I tend to have a few components on hand to make the build cheaper.

well it can but it will be a messy task cause first and most important is your mainborad or motherboard or system board however you like to call it. then u have to get a CPU then ram and hard drives and well if you can build a desk top you know the rest. now heres the tricky part. you have to find a casing that will fit your board neatly i would advise if you can get a case that fits it but the back panel does not line up to just cut a hole back there it will look messy i know but look on the bright side good ventilation ^_^. after all that is done and it works well dude i give you a A+ a pat on hte back and ill buy you a beer.

Yes, it can be done. I have taken one apart completely. If you can find the parts and you want a challenge, try it! It will take some time, and it will be a little harder then a desktop computer.

Short answer, no. Extended answer... yes but it would be so difficult and expensive i.e. acquiring specialty tools, you would have to sauter things onto the motherboard, the parts would be nearly impossible to find, you'd spend like $4000. Not really worth it when you can buy it retail for a quarter of that. So back to my short answer, no.
