It's too bad that Pi-Top is moving away from the laptop form-factor right around the time the Raspberry Pi is becoming usable as a desktop computer.
I'd love to see a drop-in-replacement motherboard design for an old hardy laptop (maybe something like a ThinkPad X220 -- < $100 on ebay). This could end up being fairly straightforward to design once the Compute Module 4 comes out.
Some new hinges and a little elbow grease and you could have a nice little 20-hour-battery laptop that's actually usable.
