At the Embedded Linux Conference in Portland recently, SiFive had a HiFive Unleashed running, attached to an FPGA board and a PCIe video card, and was demo'ing Quake. It's all certainly feasible - it just needs to be simplified into a more appealing form factor. @palmerdabbelt can likely elaborate much more than I can.

Here's a video of it running Super Tux Cart on Debian: https://twitter.com/palmer_dabbelt/status/988554630874320897 . If you're at the RISC-V workshop there should be some interesting news, but essentially you could feasibly build a RISC-V laptop now.

In the context of developing a RISC-V laptop, I'd rather suggest a look at the HiFive Unleashed board which is able to run linux. (The E310 chips are recommended for use with FreeRTOS and probably not something you'd want in your laptop as the main CPU.)
Also, this forum thread may be relevant:
“I’ve said previously that the HiFive unleashed would make a pretty good laptop with it’s quad core 64bit Arch and clock frequency. So it would be brilliant to have a HiFive Unleashed based laptop, (it’d certainly fit in the case) but […]”
