How to Design a Notebook

When choosing a computer notebook from a local electronics store you will often have only a few set of options to choose from. There may be a specific notebook you like, but it doesn't come with all the features you want. Instead of settling for a computer you might not be thrilled with, think about designing your very own notebook computer. Most PC notebook companies, including Dell, HP, Sony and Compaq, offer this option.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

1. Fire up your web browser and go to the brand website of the notebook computer you would like to purchase (such as Dell.com or HP.com). Apple notebooks typically can't be adjusted very much and will often come as is, so you can't go about designing your very own "Macbook."

2. Select "Laptops" from the types of computers available for purchase. A selection of different models will appear.

3. Click on the notebook you are interested in. There will be a button available that says "Customize." Click on it.

4. Select the options you would like to change, such as the color, processor and internal features.

5. Select "Add to Shopping Cart" if you like the notebook you have designed. If not, return to the main page and design a different computer. Once you have finished, check out and follow through with the purchase.
