laptop parts should be cheaper
just because laptop parts are deemed more 'specialist' parts due to technological advances which allow manufacturers to microsize parts for compactability for some 'specialist' setups to not sacrifice power for size. there are many a gaming/power/desktop replacement laptop out there that would totally whoop the average pc head on. but that doesnt make laptop components any cheaper which they really should.
Mobile Processors for example. a 65nm C2D@2Ghz would cost over 200UK/Pound Sterling. when you can get a fully fledged C2D 2.66Ghz for a lot less. so what? they both get mass produced but maybe mobile processors get produced a lot less then ones that would go into a desktop.
Im running a 1.66Ghz Core Duo in my laptop & Id sure like to upgrade to 2Ghz but the costs really outweighs all valid reasons for upgrade.
Id like to upgrade. just not at that price.
just because their specialist parts doesnt mean they should be stupidly expensive. just like any other component. there is a market for them loads of OEM manufacturers buy them so why the high price???
there should be different options for different customers. the fact that their all the same asside from the paint work really says alot.....not to mention them all having Nvidia Go7400's
but its still early days for DIY laptops. until parts get a lot cheaper or people start getting a lot richer
