While browsing around the internet I noticed an article about Pi-Top and thought to myself...It can't be all that hard to find components to make a portable Raspberry Pi Laptop. So, I set out to design my own. After about 20 minutes I had everything I needed. Chalk-Elec sells a 15.6" capacitive touchscreen with a driver board that will power the LCD, backlight and RasPi all at the same time, the only flaw is that it has to be plugged into a wall adapter. The wallwart in question is 5V/3A. I was wondering is how I can supply the laptop with the appropriate power. I have a 5V/2.1A 50.000mAh backup battery that works well if I'm just powering the Pi (and a 3.2" touchscreen I hate), but I'm pretty sure if will not be able to power the much bigger screen, Raspi, and the other options I plan on adding (Keyboard, Wifi, etc.). Also, I'd have to convert a USB cable to match the 5V power supply (OD=5.5mm, ID=2.1mm, central pin is +). If there is a better way of powering this (especially for someone who is at best a hobbiest in the electrical field) I would sure appreaciate any input. Any assistance with this would be GREATLY appreciated!
