OEM Laptop factory recovery vs custom install

The debate between using an OEM laptop's factory recovery partition and opting for a customized OS installation has intrigued many users. For instance, laptops from manufacturers like Lenovo come with a factory recovery partition, simplifying the system restoration process.

On the other hand, some users prefer a complete hard disk wipe, re-structuring partitions, and installing the OS along with custom backup solutions such as Norton Ghost.

As a desktop user accustomed to extensive customization, I rely on Norton Ghost for reliable backups. Now that I have a laptop, I'm pondering whether to stick with the manufacturer's default setup or proceed with a full customization, including formatting, re-partitioning, and OS installation.

What benefits will I achieve by customizing my laptop setup? Is the OEM-provided recovery partition trustworthy? Often, these recoveries come loaded with unnecessary software, which can be uninstalled to optimize performance.

Absolutely!

As an employee of a UK-based OEM, I assemble laptops. If you're interested in building your own, start by researching ODMs (Original Design Manufacturers) and locating chassis resellers.

While individuals may struggle to purchase directly from manufacturers, discovering the chassis and model numbers can help you find resellers online.

Generally, you'll purchase a chassis that includes the screen, graphics card, motherboard, keyboard, and mouse. You'll then assemble the CPU, memory, optical drives, extension cards like wireless, and install the software.

However, it's challenging to compete with off-the-shelf laptops, especially low-end models often sold below cost due to software subsidies. High-end models, though, can offer substantial savings, sometimes exceeding 50%.

One downside is support. For example, acquiring timely driver support for the laptops I sell can be difficult. Before Nvidia made GPU drivers widely available, I was limited to the manufacturer's version, which was frustrating. Despite these challenges, you eventually learn to navigate around them.
