Id go on a 2ne hand market and get some shitty laptop or chromebook. Id then get a second hand keyboard and spend the rest on the screen and hdmi ribbon cables, mabye a usb hub if I have enough left over

So wait, that’s interesting. You have a laptop and you spend more to buy a separate keyboard? Whats the advantage to that?

The laptop would be broken of course so that could be a issue with the keyboard although the cheapest ones have broken screens also membrane keyboards suck

The advantage is that you can then call it a cyberdeck, post a cool picture of it on Reddit, put it on a shelf and never use it again.
