    I'm just wondering, do people know WHAT brand/type of parts are in certain laptop manufactures?

    What brand RAM they use.. Hard drive...?

    For laptops by Dell/Toshiba/Acer/HP?

    Mabye people have opened or upgraded and have seen WHAT type of brand RAM and HD they had in it? :confused:

    varies. prices fluctuate daily on lots of parts, and they usually buy the cheapest parts(doesn't mean cheapest quality) and/or they buy from several manufacturers to have steady supply.

    pukemon is right, laptop makers don't use specific manufacturers for their parts.

    If it helps, my Sager came with Transcend RAM, a Toshiba CDRW/DVD drive, and a Samsung hard drive. My previous Acer came with a Hitachi hard drive, don't remember the other components' manufacturers.

    I was just wondering, because I bought a desktop 1 yr ago and my ram is faulty already... so I was hoping the RAM and HD in the laptops are good quality stuff.. not something that would go faulty or die out fast!
