Im not sure if its been suggested before, but i th
ink ben should try to turn a laptop into a tablet pc, maybe a netbook, it would depend.
it wouldnt be a super easy project, since he would probably have to resolder switches and leds and not to mention flipping the screen over so it looks like a tablet. then there would need to be a touch screen to interact with the laptablet since the mouse and keyboard would be covered up.
now that i think about it, a netbook would be easier since touchscreens that size are easier to come by.
