Pi500 and 15.6 Pi LCD are suitable as "laptop", more like a portable solution due to cables.
Still trying to sort out the battery issue, Cordless drill plus 5V5A buck converter.
A bit better is to stick the LCD and Pi500 to a folding underplate, backplate for a bit of protection.
Some custom cables lengths to neaten things up.
Custom battery pack made from individual cells.
Pi OS is now mostly mainstreamed into Linux so spinning your own Linux Distribution is possible.
This is even easier now with rpi-image-gen, apparently?
