I'm liking the idea but I just can't see how we can get anywhere close to the current size and aesthetics of the current stuff we have. Being modular and standard leaves you much less ability to optimistic to the most compact and cheap design. Desktops have this kind of modular design and they are huge and mostly full of empty space. I think it would be very hard to design a laptop using standard modules without everyone just building the exact same laptop.

The issue with Desktops is that motherboard layouts suck. 2' x 2' square with video cards nearly a foot long. Not much room to kill area unless you want fill the random gaps around your video card. The real place to make things more custom is when you can do small and stick the computer in places it would not normally go. Raspberry pi or a micro atx in the glove box of your car kind of thing.
