"I would love to see someone putting a Raspberry Pi into a laptop of the same quality and at the same price point."

Actually the Pi is a more like a pig's ear when it comes to fitting into a box like that. It's designed as a bench top gadget* where it doesn't matter where the external connections are placed You need to get a USB connection out for the keyboard but because all the USBs are at one end it then becomes a compromise arranging for external USB kit to be plugged it. It would be even worse if you also wanted an internal disk drive.

OTOH something of similar spec but designed for incorporation in a laptop would be fine.

*At which it's brilliant, of course.
