The 'Egg' Laptop

I really like these projects. I'm in the process of making ('assembling' is a better word) a laptop/tablet kind of computer based on a RPi 4. The technical setup works (using an RPi 4 as my daily driver for a year), now construct the case out of aluminum. My dream would be to connect it to a sort of remote control based on a Pi Zero.

The printer attached to this project is also nice!

I’d love to see more e-ink projects, and better yet, some solid thoughts as to the future of window mangers for such platforms.

Do you mean an e-ink display for a small Pi Zero project? I guess that would be perfect. For my RPi 4 pc project I use a capacitive touch screen from Waveshare (7", low power, no extra cables beyond HDMI and USB for touch input).

Is the laptop of your own design, or is it a kit that you can buy? If it's the latter, I'd be interested in assembling my own.

My own design. Although, some components screwed to three alu plates is hardly a 'design'. First I want to make it portable and probably add some color and finesse later. My initial ideas were about bending alu plates and fitting them nicely, maybe even a powdercoat on it, but I have to do it myself the dirty way first. Just to get it off the ground. There's a lot of nice cyberdeck builds on YouTube, for inspiration.
