Can you make one that emulates a PowerBook 100?

can you? There's a MAME driver in macprtb.cpp you could work off—might want a few hacks in your implementation which is nothing new to Mac emulation. also this: https://github.com/evansm7/pico-mac
I really like this design by John Calhoun (known to me originally for his game Glider, I think he posts on HN as well):

A wire-free version running a Mac emulator would be pretty slick. Very usable with MacWrite or a HyperCard deck of recipes.

Came here to say something similar. A laptop with a high quality transflective screen (e-ink is a touch too slow) that can run classic Mac OS with absurdly long battery life would be a nice little device.
Mini vMac runs wonderfully on an OLPC XO-1 if you build it from source.
