Hi,

My current Thinkpad is dying and I was wondering if the Raspberry Pi 4-B
8GB would be a half-decent laptop replacement, obviously with the
addition of a portable monitor (suggestions?) and an external drive.

I can only stress "half decent"; I don't expect miracles.

I would be running NetBSD [1], not Raspbian.

I don't really do gaming or other CPU intensive tasks, but I do some
word processing every now and again and I'd like to build my own
packages from pkgsrc.

I'm getting disillusioned with newer Thinkpads and the old ones are just
too old.

Thanks
