Build Own PC ?



My brother, of course it is.

You're limited only by your imagination and your wallet. See HomeLab for extreme case in points; I've got a thread there that elaborately covers not only my PC build, but my entire server infrastructure.

PC building, albeit incredibly..... incredibly expensive right now. Has always been a badge of honor within the community. Anyone can buy a PC, but DIY build sets you apart.

It's not my forte to manually build boards and swap physical components; but there are the niche of the niche that will literally swap physical components on motherboards and other devices to achieve things very....very few are capable of doing.

I watched a video recently of a kid on YouTube who took the time to learn how to swap the RAM on an RTX 3060 to give it 16GiB of RAM, effectively doubling it. You're truly only limited by your own drive and resourcefulness.
 
If you are Just starting though, Framework might be a good beginner's platform as well. Easy enough to build it seems, and you can upgrade it constantly over time. They have both minitowers and laptops. I hope this helps!
 
Maybe when my surface becomes too outdated i'll pick one up myself...
 
All of my desktop tower systems are home built. On the flip-side none of my laptop are home built.
(that would be a project).

laptop also have many graphics card like CPU slot
is this possible to make in 2026

It's probably possible, although good luck buying a mobile GPU card if you're not a large manufacturer.
Almost all laptop components, RAM, GPU, CPU, (sometimes even the m.2 nvme drives) are soldered in.
Non removeable, non-upgradeable.

You want the high-end laptop, just spend more $$$$.
 
Actually- this might be a good look into- https://frame.work/laptop13pro?tab=specs
This might be what you're looking for. Every few years you could probably upgrade the MB to get the latest specs.
 
That laptop looks really cool.
Yup! And if it keeps going like other frameworks, you can just keep upgrading the Guts for as long as they make compatible parts. I hope it lasts a long time! The only downside for the OP is IDK if it has external GPU Support.
