Custom Laptop vs Custom PC in India: What You Can Customise and How to Order
Can you build a custom laptop?
Not completely. On almost every laptop the processor (CPU) and graphics (GPU) are soldered to the motherboard, so they're fixed when the laptop is made. What you can do is pick the right base model and then configure the parts that are replaceable.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I get a fully custom-built laptop in India?
Not in the way you can build a desktop. On almost all laptops the processor and graphics are soldered to the motherboard. You customise a laptop by choosing the right base model and then configuring the RAM, storage and software setup.
What parts of a laptop can be upgraded?
Usually RAM (if the laptop has a free or replaceable slot) and storage (SSD or an extra drive slot). The processor and graphics card normally cannot be changed. Thin laptops sometimes have soldered RAM, so check the exact model first.
Is a custom PC better than a laptop?
If you don't need to carry it, yes: a custom PC gives more performance for the money and every part can be chosen and upgraded later. A laptop is the right choice if you need portability.
Does Sollabs Tech build custom PCs?
Yes. Sollabs Tech builds custom PCs in Madurai based on your budget and the software or games you use, and delivers across India. Message +91 90038 50743 on WhatsApp to get a configuration.
