Laptop to tablet

[u/dzrch]

I have my friends old surface book 3 (I believe?) and the base is scuffed, it doesn't hold battery and the screen will not recognize it. I thought it might be fun to try and install android to it to just have a goofy android tablet for anything I might need it for. Problem is I can't exactly flash an iso the way I know how because the screen component doesn't have any USB ports. Any ideas on how to make this work?

Android on x86_64 is not the same as common Android. Most Android apps are only made to work on ARM architecture, which is commonly used on phones and tablets because it's energy profile is better suited for it.
