Follow-up: a Raspberry Pi setup can be spacious indeed

Had the opportunity to test the #RaspberryPi 5 as a laptop, separately from everything else, and now I agree with the previous response saying it can be as big as a laptop:

The pi is pretty slow too, compared to a basic x86 laptop. I use a Logitech K40 wireless keyboard (USB dongle, not bluetooth) that has a built in trackpad though. So that gets rid of the mouse and two cables, and you can actually use it in your lap.

    I use a pi 5 as a basic browser/media streamer in my living room. It handles most streaming just fine, but for some reason YT is sluggish. I have to reboot the pi every other day or so, otherwise YT crashes the browser. Other sites seem to work fine though.
