Raspberry Pi
"Your tiny, dual-display, desktop computer"
Summary / Opinion
At the time of writing this in 2020, the humble Raspberry Pi has come a long way.
The latest model, the Raspberry Pi 4 is more powerful than the netbooks that were all the rage.
It's often used for various home server or gadget platform, but it IS a full computer that can be used as a desktop.
I myself building a slightly steampunk all-in-one based on the pi.

Caution
If a Raspberry Pi is short on the horse power or architecture that you need, you're mostly out of luck.
If however, the Raspberry Pi is short on features; you may just have some work to do
Give google a search for "Pi hats & bonnets & add-ons": https://www.google.com/search?q=Pi+hats+%26+bonnets+%26+add-ons
check the same on: https://www.adafruit.com/.
You can find hardware and kits for speakers, touch displays, battery power, etc.
