Buy a Raspberry Pi 4 Model B

Definitely !

I do not use my laptop's keyboard, mouse or monitor.

Everything is external for me.

A much more powerful rPi means it might be possible to ditch the laptop form factor for good.

The only missing piece of technology for me is a laptop body WITHOUT a compute core ( only screen and a cheap keyboard ).

So that I can attach a rPi at the back.

Linux runs very well on ARM, in relation to Intel. and the power consumption is tiny !

I can run an rPi on portable battery for days !

it would be really cool if I could attach, reattach multiple battery pack onto my laptop.

There's the Nexdock / Nexdock 2 [0], if to be believed that will be shipping later this year, And some other projects listed here in a Purism thread [1]

This is the opposite though as it forces one to use the laptop form factor.

Is the opposite of what? Wrong variable was asking for a laptop without compute part to which they could strap a Pi. That’s exactly what the Nexdock is at least.
