This https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/139108638/lattepanda-a-45-win10-computer-for-everything might be a promising base for your project and would also allow to run VirtualT and give full M100 feeling.

The big obstacle I always ran into was that there were no displays even close in dimensions to the M100's. Well... I just found a display on newegg. It's built into a sun visor, however. The overall dimensions are given as 14" x 5 3/4"... but that's for the visor. The displays (there are two) are claimed to be 10.2". That means probably about 9.34" wide x 4.5 - 5" high; maybe as little as 4" high. This is a lot bigger than the original M100, but the M100 had its bezel around it. A custom-built case (maybe 3d printed) would only have to be a bit larger vertically to accommodate such a display. But it could be a lot thinner, or carry one huge battery pack. The display's resolution is 640 x 480, meaning a distorted aspect ratio. But, it's 640 x 480; 80 x 25 text easily. It's refresh will be faster than the original M100's. So I'm thinking, cannibalize the M100's keyboard, build custom case, use raspberry pi as replacement motherboard, maybe add an SSD. And a custom UI based on the M100's shouldn't be too hard to cobble together for Linux's text mode The most important things to me are the M100's slab form factor, and fantastic keyboard. Anyway, here's a link to the ad on Newegg. Maybe some of you hardware gurus can take a look at the ad and share your opinions of such a project?
