Barebones

So my girlfriend desperately needs a new laptop and I offered to build her one because I just built my first PC and I thought this would be a fun new project, but my issue so far is finding a reasonable barebone! Considering she doesn't play games and just needs it for work I don't need anything...

I have recently put together my first barebones laptop system. I used an MSI Whitebook, model MS-1763, with an i7 4800mq and 8 GB of RAM. I put it all together, and well, it won't start. The power light comes on, the fan spins up, and it just... sits there. It will stay on as long as it has...

Hello there. First time post on this forum, but I've seen it pop up for all my computer questions. I'm starting College soon, Computer Programming, and I'm looking into the laptop I need for school. I built/build my own desktops, so I'm looking into doing it for my laptop too (AKA...

I was thinking about buying a barebones laptop and then adding my own parts to it but I need it for mainly light gaming and also school work as well. What I was wondering is, would it be worth it to buy a barebones laptop and fill in the missing parts, or just buy a full brand new one ? And...

Anyone know where to buy a white book? I don't like ordering from some vendors calming they sell barebones, but force you to pick parts that are overpriced and probably generic. Oh preferably 17 in or larger

So now that TomsGuide recently completed its article on DIY notebooks, I've been wondering about it and instead of a new HP I'll give a DIY machine a whir myself. But alas, Newegg.com only has dual core processors available and two OCZ options for a barebones system. The lack of choice is :(...
