Most people do not build custom laptops, because frankly it's a bitch. The main questions you need to ask yourself are these:
How big do you want the screen? Is 15" fine, or would 17"+ be better?
Do you plan on having it running purely off the battery for any extended length of time?
How much are you willing to spend?
I'm not sure about 15", but 17" would probably be fine. I'd have to check some out visually at a store, but I have time to do that before Cyber Monday.
I will probably be using it mostly at home as sort of a desktop replacement, since I have no room for a desktop in my room. So with that said, how would you recommend that I use it? Is it safe to use it plugged in so often?
Well, it kind of depends on what kind of deal I can find on Cyber Monday, but a few that I was looking at earlier that met the specifications that my friend earlier recommended me seemed to be more in the $700-$1000 range. Hopefully I could get one that meets my needs for $600 or less, but I'm not very familiar with what kind of deals there are on Cyber Monday.
