Already bought the cpu($160 was a good deal right?). Hopefully will have rest of components soon. This is my first laptop & laptop assembly. Can anybody give me any advice on how I should go about doing this? I've built some desktops before, but I'm not sure how to go about installing cpu & HD on a laptop. I've been told that memory installation is simple as long as you have turned off laptop. Originally, I was planning on going with the uniwill 259, but from recent reviews, I changed my mind. This one is smaller w/ better price for my budget right now. I needed something small/light to carry around to classes & this was also one of the thinnest/lightest lappy's w/out integrated graphics. can't wait until everything arrives. It's been so long since I've bought a new comp (current desktop = AMD T-bird processor 1.01 ghz), can't wait until this thing arrives
. Just hope that I can pull off the installations though.
