good place to get a laptop?

I bought a desktop from cyber power (cyberpowerpc.com) and it has worked out pretty good, no major problems. I need to buy a laptop with certain specs for college and was planning on customizing one from there. Is there any other place that you all know of that is cheaper or you have had a really good experience with? I thought it might be cheaper to just buy a laptop with a motherboard and then buy the cpu, ram, and optical drive from newegg, but it is cheaper to buy it preassembled. I really need to customize it though, so any ideas would be great.

 

You need to buy the laptop in one piece, don't go searching for laptop parts and tutorials for putting it all together. I've had good experience with Amazon and Newegg by the way.

 

I normally start my shopping here:

Deal News

Tech Bargains

More Stuff 4 Less

 

You can try to look and ebay also. Normally they offer affordable price but you just need to be careful before make any decision. Please buy from reputable people only. Amazon also not bad. Just do some surver first.
