Dream it. Infinite possibilities
Though many companies offer customization and different configurations, nothing compares to the options available to you with a DIY notebook kit. When the components and features are selected by you and it's built by you, it's more like you.
Gaming On-the-Go
Equipped with NVIDIA® GeForce 8600M GT high performance graphics, OCZ DIY notebooks provide a premium mobile gaming experience and lets you rip through all of today's most advanced and graphic-intensive games and applications.
DIY and save money doing it
Because you are buying the DIY notebook kit before the hardware is marked up and a tech assembles it, the savings are passed down to you. Additionally, you won't need to replace your entire laptop to swap out the CPU for a faster one, upgrade your RAM, or increase your hard drive storage capacity.
Configure it. Choose from list of validated components
For extra peace of mind, OCZ validates CPUs, HDDs, SDDs, and memory for the DIY notebooks ensuring ultimate compatibility and stability.
Capitalize on aggressive component pricing
Configuring your own notebook allows you to scour the web and electronics stores for the best deals on mobile components. You don't have to settle for the inflated costs added onto a complete mobile solution.
Create it. OCZ takes out the guesswork
Although assembling your own notebook may seem intuitive for enthusiasts, OCZ provides a set-up guide ensuring all components are installed correctly and all steps are completed. The DIY guide not only explains installation and set-up for experienced system builders, but also makes it easy for a novice user to take part in this DIY movement.
Take the Lead
Finally, you can take building your notebook in your own hands - literally. Build it with the components, care, and cost you've always envisioned.
Computer Shopper "Thanks to OCZ's richly detailed documentation, assembling the laptop was a breeze. As a gaming notebook, the OCZ DIY performed on par with pre-built systems with similar specs. Our configuration cost a little over $1,300, saving us a few hundred over pre-built units. If you're on a tight budget, you could easily scale back on the CPU and Windows OS for more savings. For newbies who don't have the time, inclination, or technical know-how to build their own desktop, the DIY Gaming Laptop makes perfect sense, as it saves them a fair amount of assembly and configuration headaches. At $699, the OCZ DIY Gaming Laptop is a steal for any PC builder looking for a summer project that's off the beaten path. OCZ's DIY Gaming Laptop is both a cost-effective alternative to prefab notebooks and a user-friendly introduction to PC building."
Notebook Forums "Right away, you can see the savings in building a notebook yourself rather than configuring one through a vendor or any of the notebooks listed above. Picking your own components definitely has its benefits. The first and obvious benefit is you no longer need to pay for features you will never need. Another advantage is the extra warranty on components. You can build this kit extremely fast with an install time between 15 and 20 minutes. A lot of people will enjoy the fact that they are putting together this notebook themselves and will carefully oversee the entire project. Other people who are interested in the kit are happy they are saving a lot of money picking the components they want. Great idea OCZ!"
