Regarding the "slabtop" from the orig. post. Looking at it from a price vs. performance standpoint it may be better (& cheaper) to buy a tablet and Bluetooth keyboard. That would give versatility, choice of OS and "more bang for the buck". I could change my mind based on an excellent mechanical keyboard, build quality, etc... Probably not something you'd keep for 40 years and build an online community around.
As for any Raspberry PI these days, try to find one w/o paying a premium. (Though a RasPi 400 w/ 8 gigs would be nice!)
