I am looking for a keyboard computer (basically a keyboard with built in computer hardware) similar to the Raspberry Pi 400 keyboard or the Orange Pi 800, but I need it to be x86, something like an Intel N100. But there don't seem to be any good products available?

Reminds me of the old atari st
Reminds me of the Commodore 64. It was made before I was born but I was able to see a working one in a computer museum.

Check these people out.
A laptop with no screen maybe xd
I wonder if it might not be a better option to just go straight for a mini-PC. Sure, it’s not quite the same thing, but these things are ridiculously small and by the end of the day, what’s one tiny box gonna cost you in desk space?
So a laptop with no screen.
Check Minisforum, they have nice mini PCs that you can mount on a back of your monitor, and have any keyboard you want instead of being having to use that one which is probably POS.
I can only recommend you a screenless macbook
Yes
I know
It sounds ridiculous
But it is so much efficient and powerful I can’t say not to go for that.

Honestly I’m not sure there are many of those outside of Raspberry or Orange PI as I don’t think there is huge demand for this.
For those who wants a portable PC there is laptop. For desktop in tight space you have AIO PC or mini PC. For everything else there is maste… I mean tower desktop.
If you are feeling crafty you could buy motherboard from 13in Framework laptop and 3D print some enclosure for keyboard and the motherboard, but you’ll have hard time to find keyboard x86 computer.
