Viewer Challenge - Recycled Laptop into Tablet.

I have a build idea I'd like for you to look into. In the spirit of recycling and to bring attention to the tons ans tons of electronic waste that is floooding the world. I'd like for you to take a laptop computer and turn it into a tablet. Using the parts form the laptop, a digitizer and anything else you can think to put into it id like to make a tablet out of an old unused 14, to 17 inch screen laptop. You could either route out or 3d print a new case for it.... So there you go Ben. I challenge you to make a super big screen tablet pc.

    That is a great idea! But it would be expensive and time consuming.
