There are a variety of laptop models currently on the market. Most users find a model to their liking. But mass production cannot always satisfy the buyer - either in terms of their characteristics or in terms of price. In this case, you can assemble a suitable laptop yourself.
It is necessary
- - motherboard
- - compatible processor and RAM
- - HDD
- - screen matrix
- - laptop case
Instructions
Step 1
The main part of any computer is the motherboard. Assembling it yourself is very difficult and unnecessary. It is much easier and cheaper to choose a ready-made one. Which one depends on the purpose of the computer. If the task of a laptop is to provide high-quality graphics in computer games, you should pay attention to motherboards from desktop computers. Large dimensions, weight, and high power consumption are compensated by the possibility of installing the most powerful processors. Choose the most compact board possible.
Step 2
If high performance is not required, you can use a laptop motherboard. It is much easier to power such a board from a battery, and the battery life will be much higher. Such a board will require a specialized processor and RAM. Unfortunately, they are not easy to find in stores and their prices are quite high. Be sure to check the compatibility of the components when purchasing. There are several processor socket standards.
Step 3
To create a lightweight and compact system, you should pay attention to the Raspberry. It is a credit card sized single board mini computer. Its performance is not great, but this is more than offset by low power consumption and low cost. In addition, this compact board already contains a processor, RAM, network and video cards, a card reader, and a port for connecting a touch screen.
Step 4
Purchase a hard drive. Laptops typically use drives that are two and a half inches in size. They are smaller and lighter than standard ones, but their price is significantly higher. For self-assembly of a laptop, you can use the hard drive of a stationary computer. Its performance is much higher. It is only necessary to provide a sufficiently large battery in order to provide an acceptable battery life.
Step 5
Purchase a matrix, battery and power supply. Pay attention to the method of connecting the matrix to the video adapter. The battery must provide autonomous operation of the computer. The more electricity the system components consume, the more powerful the battery is needed. Find a suitable enclosure or make one yourself. For manufacturing, wood or plastic can be used. When using dielectric materials, a metal shield must be provided. Collect all laptop components in the chassis. Install the operating system.
