An excellent start would be the Pi 500 board fleshed out with the NVMe parts fitted. Lift the keyboard to fit your choice of SSD.
If I were altering the Pi 500 board for a notebook, I would fit full size HDMI and move the NVMe contacts to the bottom of the board to allow for changing the NVMe through a panel in the base. Then add a couple of extra Type-A USB 2 sockets, one at each end, so you can add a mouse at either side.
A 15.5" screen is wide enough for a full TKL keyboard instead of a scrunched up 60%.
