Thank you!

Mechanical what? The keys? There are people who have had the same keyboard for 30 years. You don't have to design things to be disposable junk. That's even part of the advantage. If you want a higher quality chassis made of rubber-padded metal that can survive being dropped off a table then you'd only have to buy it once.
No one personally buys a Toughbook new for home use.
Congrats on the awesome project! Actually, I think 'well done' is more fitting since this must have taken a ton of work and willpower!
For those that missed it, this Engineer is in _high school_. Byran, I have been a professional engineer longer than you have been alive, I can tell you right now that I have met very, very few people that would have the motivation, skill and sticktoitivness to pull this off.

You study quantum mechanics in High School in the USA?
We discussed wave functions, probability, fermions/bosons, did calculations for particle in a box, the Schrödinger model, and went just up to deriving the hydrogen atom. Nothing super fancy, but it was one heck of an experience!
Also your project is incredible btw, maybe look into robotics too.
Anyone know the amount of RAM available for the laptop? Personally I'm a bit disappointed that it's based on Rockchip. If someone can come up with low cost open source laptop with RPi compute module 5 with 16GB RAM I think it will selling like hot cakes given the software and hardware eco-system that exist round RPi [1]. It just that the compute module has yet to come with 16GB RAM unlike the normal RPi 5 but it will…
No hardware sell like hot cakes relative to the pain and cost incurred.
