RPi5 (assuming off the shelf case and storage) and N100s (assuming pi-sized more or less) don't have to be 'made'. Only plug in power adaptor. No fixed screen, battery, standby modes. charger electroncs. keyboard, touchpad, speakers, microphone, camera, maybe fingerprint scanner, etc.If somebody wants a Raspberry Pi laptop, there is absolutely no point in suggesting putting linux on an Intel laptop. Because linux on an Intel laptop isn't what they want. Like suggesting I bin all my Pi 5s and replace them with N100s.
OP already said OPI5 would also be OK. That is not Raspberry. But it is not Intel CPU. So I at least might think maybe any fast enough ARM processor is also fine as long as it runs Ubuntu (what OP mentioned). Note that is easy to get RPiOS64 (blue, the fisherman and boat) running on an OPi5 (or some other aarch64 platform, Apple M1 maybe). Would be interesting to see if you wrap laptop components around that and present that as Raspberry Pi laptop.
