Hello this is my first post on here, I am trying to build a Cellular capable laptop that is capable of very minor gaming mostly going to be used as just a daily driver. I just dont wanna go to the only OEM I know of and that is Lenovo they want almost 3k for one but I wanna see if I can build one for close to the same price. I am looking for a good barebones laptop that can accept a intel 5G solutions 5000 I am sure I can purchase that directly from intel or maybe new egg. If you guys know any sources of laptop components or a barebones laptop please let me know thank you in advance for your info

i mean... build your own laptop isnt all that common now adays to be honest.. companies like framework let you change out everything but its still built specifically for that, potentially try looking at a second hand xps 15? like 1-2k and will have a GTX 1650ti / rtx 3050ti and a great screen and keyboard... would be ok for minor gaming and a fantastic daily driver

LiamApex, The biggest thing I need in this machine is a intel 5G solutions 5000 chip and thats for mobile broadband connection, I can just go with lenovo if I wanted to but they are close to 3k and I am sure I could build it for much cheaper if I can find a place to purchase all my components.
