Laptop upgrade

friend has a laptop he would like to upgrade some. He wants to get a bigger hd. My question is this. are laptops like computers where you can use just about any hd? or do the manufactures sell laptops just for there laptops?

Also the ram. he would like to get more ram. now i understand that the motherboard can support only so much memory. But keeping in the range that it supports can you just use any ram? now i know its gotta be the right kind of ram. IE SD ram and etc. but can i just buy kingston laptop ram and put it in it or do i need to buy dell ram?
