The first good Raspberry Pi Laptop
jeffgeerling.comA used Thinkpad costs less than that and has higher specs. I understand wanting to make a pi work as a general computing device but damn, it's never going to compete with existing commodity hardware that's built at scale.
Yeah none of these Pi projects to make a desktop or a laptop ever make sense because they cost more and perform less than similar products that are actually available.
The article/review makes a similar point.
