Your episode on the pi-top got me thinking. If you had an old (broken) laptop. You could pull the guts out of it and install a raspberry-pi, beadle-bone or what ever in it. Breathing new life into it.
Shouldn't be too hard to get a driver board so you can get a signal from HDMI to the LCD panel. Connecting up the keyboard and track pad should be pretty easy, may need to use an arduino or something. May need to make a new circuit to charge the battery also.
Mounting it all inside an old laptop could be a fun challenge .
It would be the easiest laptop to upgrade, every time a new single board computer comes out, you just swap it out.
Anyway, love the show. Keep up the good work.
