Did you look into Framework? It's an interesting concept of building your own laptop.

How much did this custom laptop cost you?

The Dell costed around 2700€. Actually ordering from Dell website is a lot more expensive (300 to 400 difference) than retail shops, but unfortunately none of the retail shops had i9/64g version.
