I know, but this is for a laptop. You can't build your own laptop. You can only do that with desktops.

I know that it's not the only company. At the college where I'm going, there are four vendors who participate in a special student discount program (Dell, HP, IBM, and Apple). Apple is out of the question since you have to pay a MAJOR premium in order to get their products. IBM is a bit cheaper than dell, but the hardware is crappier (when you customize it). Dell is the one I'm looking at, even though it's still expensive. I just sent HP an email asking them if its possible to customize laptops through their student discount program (since there wasn't a link on the page).

Yah, now that I think about it, I probably will. Dell is like the Apple of the windows world.

Honestly, neither really has outstanding customer support... but I do prefer the OEM parts that HP uses overall over those chosen by Dell. At the end of the day, though, the difference isn't all that great.
