I've got an old Asus L3000D from early 2000 in a bag. I took it out and looked at it. The keyboard is great, the screen is almost 1:1, a two buttons touchpad, floppy disk, DVD recorder, mic, audio jack, two 1394 ports (I forgot what they are), parallel, serial, VGA, two USB (1.1?), PCI express?, ethernet and modem :-) TV out, PS2 mouse and keyboard. Maybe without all the internal components it won't weight more that 1.5 kg. I remember I made it crawl with Ubuntu circa 2010. Perhaps I should give it a try as a Raspberry case.

I often think (dream) of a partial solution; using a rpi as a coprocessor, daughter card. My 2006 core 2 duo is fine for 90% of tasks, except for video decoding. Delegating that to a tiny gpu/vpu would release the main cpu for logic and IO.
