To assemble a laptop is a simple matter

More and more users of computer devices are paying attention to the fact that modern devices do not always satisfy their needs: sometimes there is not enough memory on the hard drive or the RAM does not do its job every time, and even the video card sometimes does not endure the load in recent computer games. At such moments, everyone wants to change the bad components for good. Owners of personal stationary computers have long resolved this issue, because everything inside the case is replaceable. A seasoned user is able to assemble a computer from a variety of components, because you just need to purchase a CPU (central processing unit) and a motherboard. Further, it all depends on investments. If everything is clear with a PC, then how to assemble a laptop? It is worth finding the answer to this question that is relevant in our time.

The choice of components for a laptop

The choice of components on a PC has not raised questions for a long time, but things are more complicated with modern laptops. Each part of the PC is very simply located inside the system unit, with portable devices, in turn, you will have to figure it out a bit. In order to understand how to assemble a laptop yourself from the components, two categories of parts should be distinguished:

1. The main spare parts without which the operation of the device is impossible.
2. Minor parts that are only responsible for additional processing functions.

Main components

Let's go through each component in detail to understand what can be put on a laptop.

CPU and motherboard

Is it possible to assemble a laptop from accessories? The answer is yes, if you choose the right components. It is the processor and motherboard that determine the subsequent details in the assembly.

On the website of each CPU manufacturer, you can find many modifications of the same model. Here are some things to keep in mind:

• It is necessary to choose the characteristics, starting from knowledge of the main criteria: the number of cores, clock speed, amount of memory and other nuances.
• You must set the type of device socket. This parameter will help to choose the right motherboard.

Important! Please note that not all motherboards have an additional connector for the GPU (they work through an integrated video card). Such components are unlikely to suit avid gamers. If you are just like that, we recommend that you look at what existtop gaming laptops, as well as top gaming keyboards.

GPU

To assemble a laptop with your own hands for computer games, you can not ignore such a detail as a video card. This component is also considered one of the main components of a laptop.

Among users, the manufacturing company NVIDIA can boast of great authority. Flagship models of components are able to satisfy the system requirements of the most “capricious” toy. Directly on the official website, you can select the top vidyuhi and from there download the appropriate software for it.

Important! Take your time choosing a model. First of all, make sure that the motherboard supports your chosen model. The same GTX 1050 Ti will cost you somewhere around 230 US dollars.

RAM

How to assemble a laptop yourself? It is very important to equip your device with the necessary amount of RAM.Everyone knows that without this component a computer device simply won’t work:

• The right choice is provided by choosing the right CPU characteristics and data that are posted by the manufacturer. If your laptop supports 8 GB DDR4, then you can prefer 16 GB DDR3, because there is no point in overpaying for a new generation.
• The laptop will work correctly if the clock frequency that is supported by your processor is correctly selected. If you buy the bar at 1333 MHz, and the CPU is designed for 1600 MHz, then the work will be carried out at full frequency. In cases where the RAM frequency will be higher, the surplus simply will not be exploited.
• You should also consider the number of interfaces for RAM strips. It is from this amount that the volume of the chosen bar depends. The processor supports RAM up to 16 GB, but do we have two sockets for the motherboard? In this case, you can take two strips of 8 GB or one - 16 GB. In the second case, you can expand the volume if you improve the characteristics of the processor. The average cost of a component is $ 80.

Cooling system

Without a good cooling system, there is always the risk of losing your laptop due to overheating. For this reason, such systems can also be attributed to the main ones.

Experts recommend taking those installations that were specially created for the model of your motherboard. This method will help to achieve the coincidence of all fasteners and bends. The cost of such equipment starts at $ 15.

Important! To ensure that the cooling system always works efficiently and does not overheat, use the instructionshow to install the fan in the computer case.

Winchester

To assemble a laptop, you should choose the right hard drive. Obviously, this detail is also fundamental in the design of the laptop, but the choice is much easier than in previous cases. And the volume, and the manufacturer, and type are selected strictly from the preferences of the owner.

Important! If you want a quick work of your operating system, then take an SSD. If you are not particularly interested in such functionality, then you can take a larger HDD for the same price. You can pick up a good option somewhere for $ 50. To make the right decision, we have prepared an article for you"How to choose a SSD drive for a laptop?".

Screen

It’s unlikely that it will be impossible to assemble a laptop without a screen, so you should understand a little about the selection criteria for such a component, includingmatte or glossy laptop screen is better.

An item is selected so that its connectors match the connectors on previously selected components. It also happens that the matrix is ​​sold immediately with the lid. In this case, the location of all the fixtures in the housing area should be taken into account.

Important! Always pay attention to manufacturing technology:

• Matrices like TN are no longer relevant.
• A more expensive IPS matrix will give you a clearer and more enjoyable picture. Price ranges from 50 to 100 US dollars.

Body

Well, let's move on to completing the assembly of the main components. The case must have the necessary dimensions. Also, when choosing, you should consider the number of interfaces.

Important! The laptop case should never be smaller than the screen size.

The user has the right to independently choose the material of this component, but most often you can do with simple plastic and metal.

Minor Components

The remaining parts will be much easier to pick up:

• The “mouse” and keyboard are selected according to the connectors and sizes. So that you can choose it correctly, we have prepared a selection of valuable tips"What to choose a wireless computer mouse?".
• The battery is also selected only by case model. You can consider the options that the motherboard manufacturer recommends, or simply pick up an identical capacity.
• There are few who use drives, but if there is a need, then almost anyone will do.If you plan to install this, our article will help you"Which optical drive to choose?".
• Well, let's not forget about the wireless modules. Usually Bluetooth and Wi-Fi slice are installed in the motherboard. If there are no such elements on it, then you can restrict yourself to adapters.
• The power supply plays an important role in the process of the computer, providing it with the necessary energy. We have already prepared a publication for you, which sets out in detail everything aboutwhich power supplies are better.
