Are there any other custom laptop options except ADK?

get a HP elite book, the bottom slides off and everything is replaceable. I just bought a base model 14 inch and replaced:

CPU: with a sandybridge i7 2.4 quad
RAM:16 gigs DDR3
Hand drives:replace standard drive with SSD and added 2nd drive in optical bay.


result: great small laptop with high res non glossy screen that packs a real punch, even the firewire seems to work well with my 816!!!!

You won't be dissapointed with an ADK. Scott and his crew are really great.

If you are uk based I can build you a custom laptop.
please have a look at my website.
Laptops And Mobile Music Workstations - Sequence Systems

I have 10 years experiences building computers and laptops just for music production for one of the bigger names in the business. I offer a software install service so i can test everything works before shipping and the restore image includes your software.

Rain makes a nice laptop. The best thing about them is how quiet they are. ADK is great as well.

Nothing wrong with that, there are only a few laptop manufacturers anyway, Clevo builds a lot for other brands as well.

BTW:
"You cannot access our store from your country. We apologize for the inconvenience." Is this going to change? The EU is a big market...

I know ther is nothing wrong with them I use the same chassis it's the only option in the uk unless you import them your self.

Until I resolve a few issues like shipping outside the uk within the store software I will stick to just the uk. Also doing support outside the uk is a problem if the systems have to come back they can get damaged , lost ect and it costs a lot of money (from past experience).
One step at a time.
I allowed Germany access to the store but not to the checkout so you can have a look.

funny i ship worldwide without issue. and the funny thing is far less damage (almost none) that shipipng locally (US), support is a breeze. (remote software to take control) only trouble is time differences then again i have employess who will work from home at odd hours to address this..

You must have better customers than my last employer no matter how many times I asked them to make sure it's boxed well enough for transit customers would wrap them in a single sheet of bubble wrap or brown paper and string.

Laptops are not as much of an issue my main concerns are with towers and desktops that have large heat-sinks and a shock drop can do a lot of damage even when the heat-sinks uses a bolt secure system to hold them in place.
