If you don't find it limited with locked device, you're simply not playing hard enough. :-))

I'm also excited about Pi4, but on the other hand worried about thermal issue...
Speaking of modifying existing hardwares, Nexus 7 is my personal favorite: http://i.imgur.com/8H9LH9U.jpg
1) you have access to the Raspbian and Pi ecosystem 2) it has actual usable UI, commercial-grade I would say
The whole idea of this project is to help makers to be portable with their projects. The display is optional.
But it's not scalable, and I'm not particularly good at soldering. ;-)

For price range I would say kano computer kit touch or raspad tablet are all good products and provide good reference.
Of course we made our first prototype with Pi3, and it ended up looking like this: https://i.imgur.com/gqUAdDa.jpg :P
Oh by the way we're not using HDMI display so it'll be cheaper (and thinner) too.
As a long-term Qt user, you can find my other tablet-related projects on Github, for example the browser https://github.com/penk/SlateKit/tree/master/Shell
So yay battery percentage! ;-)
(finger crossed for CM4?)
