I think it does make sense to make a laptop out of the Raspberry Pi 10.I was interested in this topic but I have let it be for the moment. I suppose in a view years these devices are there which can compete with laptops. Laptops which are based on the Raspberry Pi 10. But I suppose since Raspberry Pi is on the stocks, prices will go up if these devices become attractive.

It is therefore worth to keep an eye on the Orange Pi 5. One of the best YouTube video reviewer about the Orange Pi 5 is biblioman09 from Spain. I have reviewed this on my personal website:

https://petergamma.org/to-use-the-orang ... -a-laptop/

But altough the Orange Pi 5 has in principle the potential to make a laptop out of it, it does not have the community necessary for it. Where is a forum which discusses the same as here is discussed for the Orange Pi 5? Only the Raspberry Pi has this forum. . But I am against such popular devices such as the Raspberry Pi 10 as a basis for a laptop, as long as they do not have a strong competitor.

Therefore I decided for a thin client with Ubuntu to build a laptop from. It is portable but cannot be used for mobile use, but I don’t need it. My laptop always broke. Therefore I have a large number of those on my screed which don’t boot up anymore. So I use those as a screen for my thin client with a HDMI to usb adapter. This is almost as building a laptop by miself.

And to build a laptop from a Raspberry Pi 10? I will only do this if the Pi 11 is on the market and prices are stable.
