When you say “made to order” - you’re talking about desktops, ya? Not laptops? If there are made to order laptops, I need to see that.
I’m planning on using Central for a PC build in a month or so - definitely going to try to stretch my dollars.
- mattnewton 2y agoThis used to be a thing- I remember my father excitedly configuring a made-to-order laptop from ZipZoomFly[0] back in the day. I think that the market wasn’t kind to them though, the ecosystem about replaceable laptop parts never matured to the point where it was competitive with the proprietary designs, and standards constantly changed because of the form factor’ constraints, so the dream of just replacing a single part never materialized. Closest thing to that dream now is the framework laptop, which does have replaceable parts. [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZipZoomfly https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ZipZoomfly]
- gmueckl 2y agoResellers of Clevo barebones offer a fair bit of flexibility to spec the system to order. It's not full freedom to mix and match, but still quite flexible. The price is that it is far less sleek, bulkier and heavier than most other laptops.
- JJMcJ 2y agoYes, desktops. From other comments you can still sort of configure your own laptop. What I was referring to was laptops already configured with Linux. So all the drivers are working, for example.
