As others are saying it is not an easy project. There are commercial 
products available that do the laptop job
E.g

As for the example you give that is really expensive for what it is. I 
have a 6000mAh battery that I carry around as back up for my phone.

It is a fraction of the price of the one you link to. Less than a 
quarter I think.
Granted it only has one output but there are others available with two 
output sockets. It will power a tablet or a phone.
