I'm still searching for ideas, I don't want my project just to be hooking a tiny screen to a keyboard and be done. Still, I don't think I can have everything working by the end of the contest. So I plan to focus more on the design (modelling, 3d printing ).

I'm mostly decided on a look with an aesthetic mimicking the following:

Cyberdecks from Cyberpunk Edgerunners

This one a handle on the side, which I really like. It seems to have a foldable screen and a physical keyboard. 

RA01 by RA

This one was my first inspiration for starting the project, it looks gorgeous. Surprisingly, the artist used a C64 case, no 3d printed parts (so it is technically made from scraps, truly like something made in a dystopia).

Garra's Cyberdeck

Another awesome build. Here the artist modelled the case, and really nailed the cyberpunk look. Check out the project on Garra's medium.

In conclusion

I guess what I want for my build is:

• To be portable and robust (no LCDs hanging on the side or the top)
• Handle on the side so it can rest on my forearm (size may be a problem here).
• 3d modelled design, I want to really be able to tweak and add details on software instead of looking for greeblies.
