Better still, do both. Power your Pi off of your laptop server to get the benefits of its built-in battery acting as a UPS for both devices.

- Sohcahtoa82 4y agoIf your laptop's USB ports will provide enough amps, that could work. Doesn't the Pi 3 expect up to 2.5 amps? I imagine some of that is for powering USB ports, so you could probably get away with 1.5 amps if you're not using them, but even that's a lot for laptop USB. I'd be surprised if any offered more than 1 amp.
