Does anyone have any thoughts / experiences with custom built trading computers verse mass produced models.
I am in the market for a new laptop and don't have time to build my own, there are a few companies that build computers specifically for traders.
It is difficult to compare apples to apples but the main differance between "comparable" models seems to be in the price.
I mentioned the above comment to the custom computer company and he said that the reason for the higher cost was that they used better components and the way that they configured the components would eliminate bottle necks and allow platforms to run faster and more efficiently.
This sounds great and if true might make the higher costs a bargain.
