Part One: The Processor When thinking about creating your own laptop or notebook, it is important to start with the right building blocks. Without proper research and planning it would be all too easy to end up with components that might not be ideally suited to your requirements. To start with, it might be a good idea to first consider the processor or ‘brain’ of the PC system. With both single and dual core to choose from, picking one boils down to personal preference and what applications you wish to run. Single core variations such as the Intel Celeron M are geared to base models and lower budgets whereas their dual core counterparts such as the Intel Core Duo are known for both speed and performance.
