>What do you think about that?

I understand that the Raspi form factor is not the most adequate for a laptop, but it is a very common form factor. Anything else doesn't even comes close to its popularity. So I think we have to adopt what we have. The only other possibility I can think of is the 96boards standard.

>SBCs are not really a good fit for laptops in my opinion because you have to adapt everything with individual cables that are meant for external use

The CrowPi2 seems to work well around that. Never seen one personally but it seems good enough for me.

>are there any SBCs you would like to use except for the Raspberry Pi?

Yes. I want to use a Rock-Pi-4. AFAIK it is the only ARM SBC that is 100% functional without any proprietary blob.




I think the same is true for the Rock64 from Pine64 and the Libre Computer Board ROC-RK3328-CC. And probably others based on the Rockchip SOCs.
