Got a laptop for doing work at home.

[turboman808]

I was very reluctant to do this. I don't mind having a netbook at home but didn't want a desktop for doing my editing and design work. I also didn't want to spend 5 grand on a laptop that still wouldn't do a very good job.

Well every now and then technology moves forward enough for me to find a use for it. Got a toshiba satalite laptop for just about a grand with a i7 processor and 8 gigs of ram. Also has esata which works real well with my hot swap drives.

I was able to get about half of a $500 project done tonight so it should pay for itself within a few weeks. All while relaxing on the couch with my girl. I loved it, didn't even feel like work.

I build my own laptops but I really love the feel and quality of HP's cases and screens. I've seem alot of people have issues with Toshiba comps, but that was years ago.

Sure hope I don't have any problems. I've never heard of building your own laptops. I know you can custom order them but never heard of that.

Well I am on this kick to make sure every time I spend money it's to make me money. The laptop I don't care about so much. The money it brings in I do care about.

Can you you link some sites where you can buy all the parts needed to build a custom laptop? Iv wanted to build one for ever, but still cant find half the parts needed.

You can find barebones laptops just about anywhere. Ebay, pricewatch sometimes, Amizon, ect.

What parts are you having trouble finding?

I mainly got this for side projects. My boss has asked me if I want to work from home. Problem is that would put a serious dent in my electric bill. I have 5 servers, 2 workstations and a disc replicator and I live in an apartment.

Everything really. I can build desktop's but I have no idea about laptops. Like for starters a motherboard. Is there a newegg type site for laptop stuff?
