Thanks for your comment. I don't think it's that hard.

Take a middle/high-end smartphone phone. Install something like Maru OS (but preinstalled and with OEM support). That's it.

I agree with the cooling problems, but a desktop browser and Unix terminal would be enough, and these apps are not that demanding for the CPU.

That's called a tablet. You cal already browse, edit, and ssh from those. When I want a laptop I usually want something way more powerful that can build, run large software apps, run VMs, etc. I regularly max out all eight cores of mine for hours at a time.
