Hey all, I was looking to buy a computer, most preferably a laptop, but the prices were absolutely ridiculous. I was thinking about building my own desktop, which I could. I can make a computer better than DELL XPS for a cheaper price. But then again, I really want a laptop. I was wondering if there is any way to build a laptop by myself?
Another question: I may be buying a laptop from Gateway, which is pretty good and the price floats around $1.300. The thing is, it only has a 40GB internal hard drive (with more than 40GB it would be too pricy). So, are external hard drives used only for backing up, or can I also use them as a normal hard drive, to install/play games on, to surf the web on, etc?
Thanks!
