what I want is a mini pc, a battery pack and a docking 'console' in shape of laptop with a DP screen, ports, keyboard and touchpad. I can mix and match these according to my need, like 2 battery packs.

if I know somewhere power, display and keyboard will be available I can simply take the mini pc only.

You know you can do that with most android phones, no? All you need is one of those USB C hubs with HDMI output, and with RJ45 if you want the whole hog.

Yet another reason users want a Linux phone.

OMG my xiaomy only has some proprietary bs to make it into a "phone computer", and I already decided the next is going to be a linux phone, this is going to be so fun!

Ha ha just a keyboard a mouse and a screen 😁 and im freeeee! And a charge plug. And a second battery, but that's okay.

Doesn't hit all your requirements, but its closer than it is far away.

General shape of a laptop.

Does have ports, keyboard, and touchpad.

Not a DP screen, doesn't have swappable internal battery packs but you could... slap kinda pouches or straps to the housing, and carry some external batteries or a mouse in em, plug em into whatever 'dock' / usb hub this thing is using.
