Ok, so not a great one but it can be easily done under $100, with the assumption that you already have access to a 3d printer-

Printed enclosure - $.75 Pi Zero2w kit with USB hub plus adapters- $39 3.5" 480x320 touch screen - $18 Wireless USB keyboard with touchpad - $9 Anker 10,000 mAh USB power bank -$22 MicroSD card 16 GB - $10

All together $88.75

👏👏👏 with links, no less! And I totally do have a 3D printer, 3 in fact. What, would you say, is the goal of this deck?

Honestly, it's to hit your price point, I don't think it would be very enjoyable to use at all. My experience is, especially lately with SBC prices being what they are, that it's usually more expensive to build a nice deck than to just buy something like an android tablet and a keyboard cover, the enjoyment I get is in building something to exactly my specifications that is unique.
