How do I convert my laptop into a tablet that runs ios for ipad?

How do I convert my laptop into a tablet that runs android or an OS that I could build?

NOTE: I am very experienced with Computer Components and parts, but I have never change or do any thing with laptops, except removing HDD to put in my PC, but I put it back into the laptop

I want to do this because I like building my own things instead of buying one.
Laptop is an Acer Travelmate 2480

CPU: Intel Celeron M 440
RAM: 2GB DDR2 (i think its ddr2, and my dad had replaced the 512MB ram with 2GB Ram a while ago)
HDD: 120 GB Sata 1 HDD
That's all I know

Can it be a step by step tutorial on what to do or buy.

Here are about a million pictures:

step one install OSX on laptop
step two use Apples Xcode development tool (aka iOS VM)

that's the only way to run iOS on a non iOS device.

We can't help you, as it would be a crystal clear violation of Apple's software licensing to do so, and it's against forum rules to help people perform illegal acts.

However, it sounds like an interesting project, so good luck.

Well then how about android, or how about I make my own Tablet OS called, Beces M? (M stands for mobile)
I think that Beces M should be able to access Apple App Store or Google Play store, or both, is that allowed? The only problem is that I have no Idea where to start.

How do I convert my laptop into a tablet that runs ios for ipad?

Step 1. Sell the laptop
Step 2. Convert those funds into a purchase at the Apple Store

Conversely, if you want Android on a PC, here's a project with that as it's goal:

You can run android on whatever you want (so long as it's supported or you have the skill to make it supported) as its open source like Linux. There are also various emulators that will let android apps run on top of Windows, Linux etc.

iOS is the property of Apple and as such it is closed source and everything that runs on it is closed source as the whole Apple philosophy is to lock you into the Appleverse.

But how do I make the laptop a real tablet, not a laptop that just runs android? (I am keeping the touch pad though)

You don't make a laptop into a real tablet, as a tablet is simply a PC that does not have a keyboard permanently attached and has a touch capable screen. There is otherwise no difference in the hardware, except the hardware choices manufacturers make in each product.

While there's always the possibility of simply a lack of imagination on my part, I'm not seeing how you'd do that. You can't just take the motherboard and everything and stuff it into the screen - all that guts that run the unit itself are in the part with the keyboard on top, not behind the screen. You'll have a laptop that runs Windows, a laptop that runs Android, or a laptop that ruins OSX, but you're not going to have a tablet. You may as well be asking how to convert your Toyota into a bicycle.

Yes, you can sort of graft the laptop innards onto the 'back' of the monitor.
Now you'll need a USB mouse and keyboard to run it.
Or, you'll need a touchscreen overlay.

And you'll have a very crappy 'tablet', running Windows. Not a "real tablet".

With a lot of work, you can maybe make it into a 'tablet' about 1.5" thick. Maybe.
An iPad is about 1/3 of that. 0.5"

Turn your laptop into an iPad, running iPad software and OS?
No.

Android? Probably.
You'll still need some touchscreen overlay.


Starting with that laptop...it will never turn into what you conceive as a 'tablet'.

What you will need: "8. Huge amount of patience 😀"

How are you planning on cooling the laptop innards?

I have a 6000 rpm fan (I can change the speed of it using the controller that came with it) in my old Pentium 4 PC that I could use. would that work?

No.
Have you ever taken a laptop apart? No?
Go find a completely broken one.
Take it apart.
Now....figure out how you would merge all of that 'stuff' into the back of the screen.
Now, figure out how you're going to add another fan, that is probably at least 0.75" thick to that.

Tablet innards are 'different' than laptop innards are different than desktop innards. Low power = low heat.

Again...find a free broken laptop. Take it apart. See how you would make a 'tablet' out of that.
Repeat a couple of times.
Then and only then, try it with actual working hardware.

Ah, I missed the part where everything's going to awkwardly be placed on the back of the screen - I assumed he meant making it into an actual usable tablet.

Sticking everything on the back of the screen doesn't really make a tablet, after all. It just makes an easily breakable laptop that you can't close. Laptop motherboards are internal for very good reasons, after all!
