> I'm just wondering what would be the best method for the dc 2 dc conversion, I also want to ensure the circuit can handily cope with any sudden surges in demand, while maintaining a clean and stable 5v supply.

I like the laptop PSU idea. I do that in my projects sometimes.

You may want to consider having more PSU headroom to avoid running near max capacity for your 5V reg. I snooped around and found this item. It delivers 10A from 12-24 VDC. What I can't find is a decent set of specs to give the Power Out noise (ripple). I like my 5V ultra quiet.

Envy you the PI4 BTW. Would you please tell me your RAM size and performance browsing the web? My PI3-1GB barely makes it for web browsing.

I'm using the 4GB and even with raspbian it fair zips along, I'm running with root on a usb ssd (careful not all usb3 -> sata are compatible) and that does make a difference, a 240 sdd can be cheaper than and expensive 32gb sd card and much faster... It certainly has enough power to browse the web the pi2 was torture by comparison! chromium loads in around 2-4 seconds, and feels just like its on a fairly standard laptop!

re: this Will this require some kind of heat sink, I'd prefer something as efficient as possible, I'm wondering if it might need a set of different valued capacitors on the output to help with ripple, I do have a modest oscilloscope so I should be able to see how horrid the ripple or takeup looks like I am wondering what would happen when there is sudden cpu load applied and the governor switches all 4 cores from 600hmz to 1.5ghz....!

I was a little dubious about the claims attached to the Pi4 but was pleasantly surprised, you could certainly use it as I've set mine up (root on ssd, etc), as a "daily driver"
