Why don't they figure out how to make a cheap display? Today an HD display costs $75 minimum. Meaning a RAspberry Pi computer minimum cost is $140 when you include SD card, power supply, enclosure, keyboard/mouse, and display. Someone needs to figure out how to make a $10 HD display.
Likely a function of the ultrawide configuration here which allows the case design to retain the shape of a "deck" while other attempts usually end up looking like a generic laptop with their 16x9 pop-open screens.
Hackerboxes has included lcd and led displays in some of their kits (which are $40/mo IIRC), but they're usually of a limited color set or resolution while still being a pretty solid match for the intended project.
