What it would actually take: Building a high-end laptop requires industrial design, precision thermal and mechanical engineering, custom PCB layout, firmware/UEFI development, and multi-million dollar supply chain agreements with chipmakers like NVIDIA and display vendors. It demands hundreds of specialized hardware engineers and massive capital investment.
