Whether any of the forum-member has any knowledge about ASSEMBLED LAPTOP? Whether this facility is available in India. I just want that can the different parts like processor, MoBo, Casing, RAM, HardDisc etc of my choice can be purchased individually from market(just like Desktop) and later assembled.

Some time back, read in a local newspaper about Intel going to launch assembled laptops in a big way. This would be thru the existing Genuine Intel Dealers. A workshop was conducted a few weeks back in Cochin, it was reported. Intel is tieing up with three Taiwanese manufacturers for the components, and the GID's will assemble as per customers' configurations.

Don't know about the progress of the same.

Cost is not always the only deciding factor. Sometimes choosing the components to suite your needs is also more imortant.

when assembled laptops go mainstream, their price will pale in comparison to branded laptops. The situation between branded and assembled desktops is a valid case in point...
