You are going to be spending just as much to make a shitty laptop as you would to buy a good laptop

The only thing you'll really wind up building is the case.

The raspi is pretty much plug'n'play once you image your SD card.

>I know i could get like, a notebook or soemething but i wanna build something, have something to spend my time on this summer and also, i dont have the money to get a notebook.

It's great you have the time a…, erm mostly time to attempt at building a case and whatever.
Do listen to the other anons in this thread tough, you won't save any money at all.

Just snipe a good laptop on ebay. A raspberry is not a desktop computer, it's a sub-standard computer-on-module brick for low-energy embedded solutions.

If you plan to use it as a field-tool rather than for general purpose, then it's a whole different story.
The best route in that case would be still getting a sub-notebook and gutting it I imagine.

Yeah, they're not wrong. The portable hack station is ~ $35 for the pi, $45 for the plug and play touch screen, and I think $40 for the case that will fit it all. Then a keyboard if you don't want to use in screen.
You can easily find a used laptop for your $120 - $150. Then again I will say it was fun building it. Killed a few hours at least.

You need nothing more than an sd card writer a mouse keyboard and i.e. a hdmi monitor. It's already a complete computer

That's true, but from the original post I think most of us assumed he was after something a little more portable.

Wait till the end of this year and buy a udoo x86 for the core instead of a raspberry pi.

Buy a used ThinkPad if you want something reasonably powerful/upgradable/useful/runs linux smoothly. x201, x220, something like that. $200. $250?

I know it's what >>>/g/ always recommends, but I went for it when I had almost the same problem and am very pleased (needed anything portable to throw around, tight-ish budget, got way more than bargained for).

However, I do wish you luck on your Pi machine should you build it. They're okay as media machines, something slightly above what you'd use a tablet for. Like others have said, wouldn't recommend for serious work. Not enough processing power or RAM.
