Most often, buying a laptop either gets you extra feature not required, or you are left out of the required ones. So, is it possible to assemble a laptop just according to your need. Is it worth doing?

posible but not worth at all. cyberpower & a few companies will offer you custom laptop but only if you live in US.

some googling fetched me this:
1. Buying a barebone laptop
2. Buying other hardware(processor, hdd, ram, wireless card etc.)
3. Assembling/ Install os

But the concern is, the barebone itself cost more than a budget prebuild laptop today.

Can be done but not frequent in use.

NO brother, a laptop cant be assembled at present in India.
HP offers some minor customizations in its business class(only) laptops.
Dell does allow customization, but you cant choose a processor or GPU.

I haven't heard of other companies.

but in US you can really ASSEMBLE a laptop, e.g. you can get a full HD screen instead of normal, get a blue ray drive etc. but remember, not here in India.

Well, customization is pretty close and can give you desired features, but what i mean is, assembling a laptop yourself.
