Build your own laptop...sort of
Your not buiding the whole laptop, but still this is an interesting concept...

For those looking for the grand, sweeping analysis of the consumer experience that we do for our system evaluations, you aren’t going to find that in this article. We’ll still cover the performance metrics - WorldBench, DVD encoding, battery economy (since it’s a laptop), and gaming - but the System Build section will be replaced by a “System Assembly” section where we will walk through putting your machine together. There was no official purchase of this system (since you can’t buy it yet), so there was neither a purchasing experience to talk about nor a tech support package to evaluate.

Likewise, because we didn’t purchase this system and it is currently unavailable for retail purchase, it will not be scored. However, we’ll be looking at the feasibility of this initiative by Asus and what it means for all of us as consumers.

At the end, you should have a good idea of what it takes to put one of these units together and what kind of performance you can expect from it.
