most certainly not a "new" idea, but I eventually got around to putting this together: https://learn.adafruit.com/mini-raspberry-pi-handheld-notebook-palmtop?view=all I 3D printed out the parts, takes about 6-8hours in total.  I already had one of these bluetooth keyboards knocking around from way-back-when, it's kinda cool as it has a little mouse pad on the right hand side and if you set up the Pi properly, it picks it up on boot-up and "just works". I have a 3.5" touchscreen and an RPi3, albeit not the same screen as shown in the article, (but I'll come back to that later).  I already had a battery power battery from another project that didn't go anywhere, so it seemed like a good idea to throw all these parts together and make this. The one gotcha I currently have is related to the hinge screws/nut things, I don't have what is needed - I've gone through every "box of bits" I have - what I did find was 2 pop-rivets ...
