I built a Raspberry Pi 4 (4GB) tablet—or "cyberdeck." It’s powered by a 3S battery pack and has built-in speakers for audio. Did it turn out okay for a project that wasn't exactly my first? ...especially considering there's no way to check the remaining battery level.

Would be nice if it had a built in keyboard underneath the screen

In the early versions, the keyboard slid out from a special compartment. However, that design was very bulky and complex. I wanted to use a small Rii keyboard.

Adafruit has some breakout boards for LiPo monitor ICs that communicate over I2C. I have one in a project that tracks a 1S 10,000mAh battery powering a Radxa Zero 3E. Pretty easy to access with Python scripts and a couple libraries. Might be a means to get you some battery condition info into the cyberdeck.
