notebook computers under 400

How many major retailers to sell laptops for so cheap?
I am looking into building my own computer laptop but I can not do it for under $ 400. I saw at Best Buy they have $ 299. How can they sell so cheap? What is their secret?
Order in bulk you can buy cheaper. Wholesale business is much more security instead of a profit lower per unit by selling in bulk to a dealer, than risk losing money by selling at retail.
