What is a very upgradeable laptop/notebook?

I'm wanting to pretty much be able to build my own laptop. So I want a laptop that has very low specs, but can be upgraded. When I say upgraded, I mean video cards, ram, hard drive, everything you can upgrade on a laptop. I also would like it to be not to expensive, and I don't mind if it has a thick base.|||Generally, on low end laptop's you can't upgrade the video card as it is integrated into the system board. On some of the higher end laptops you can upgrade the video card but not on the low end ones which is what you want to buy.|||I'm not aware of any consumer laptop that allows you to upgrade very much. Most laptops allow you to replace memory modules and hard drives, but that's about it. In some cases, the CPU can be upgraded if you're savvy enough, and your laptop supports it. But more often than not, the graphics are specific to the motherboard, in which they are either soldered onto the logic board, or they are proprietary boards that only support one type of vga card.|||Laptops are not upgradeable except for ram memory modules and hard drive storage size as the processor, graphics card chip set are made into and as part of the mother board and to change out the major components later would cost almost as much as a better laptop. Only custom built high end laptops can be upgraded as to graphics/video card and processor easily.

A lot depend on the availability of the laptop components and it is next to impossible to find or purchase processors and graphics card chip sets for laptops.
