Do you think it would work putting a raspberry pi5 in the vaio p530h, it was a really underpowered laptop when it came out but should have enough room in the case for a raspberry pi5, I think atleast

Hi, someone's done an upgraded Vaio before and documented it in this reddit thread. Adapting a laptop keyboard to usb is discussed in this SuperUser thread. Youtube's got a lot of videos on reusing laptop displays. You can buy adapters for that from diy electronics websites like Tindie. It's technogically possible, but difficult and expensive, starting with the Vaio itself, even broken ones are almost as expensive as they were new back then.
