When building a custom notebook you first need to find out who is the original notebook maker. We all know that Dell and Alienware don't make their notebooks they buy the barebone systems and finish the build.
Here is a list of ODM's (ODM stands for Original Design Manufacturer)
* Acer - Corporate Site
* Arima - Corporate Site
* Chicony/Keydata Int'l - Corporate Site
* Clevo - Corporate Site
* Full Power Investment (Compal)- Corporate Site
* HyperData - Corporate Site
* Inventec - Corporate Site
* Jetta - Corporate Site
* Mitac - Corporate Site
* Quanta - Corporate Site
* Sotec - Corporate Site
* TwinHead - Corporate Site
This is a list of the ODM's that I am aware of. Please feel free to post any companies that I missed and I'll add them to the list.
Here are some of the more common ODM/OEM makers on the market.
