Custom laptops
Just wondering, let's say for example, a millionaire wants to buy a new laptop. He wants it to be a cream of the crop kind of system that is not available within the XPS range (discontinued XPS 17 for example) and he doesn't want an alienware/inspiron. Could he for example, custom order one of them, have whatever parts he wants built into it with a huge battery? This is just an example, I don't care about the cost, just be aware that it's specifically for the XPS 17. I know it's discontinued, I just want to know if it's possible to custom order just one with whatever specs someone would want?

If you are a millionaire you might as well get a Precision...

These are the most customisable range of Laptops and Desktops. They are also the most powerful and most expensive. However like the Alienware range are usually more bulky than the XPS and Latitude range. The Latitude Range may be more suited to what you are looking for:
The answer is no - even if you buy a used system and upgrade it yourself, you're still limited as to what you can install by the design of the system.
There are companies that still specialize in producing "whitebooks" where you can customize just about every detail. These are the smaller "boutique" builders who generally build on systems from Clevo and MSI -- such as Sager. You just won't find that level of customizability from Dell or any other of the large system manufacturers (Lenovo, HP, etc.).
