- No binary blobs anywhere
- Freedom to the gate level (I can dream 😉 )
- Durable chassis
- USB Type-C (also used to charge the laptop, maybe optionally).
- 11+ hours battery life
- 11"-11.5" 4:3 matte screen
- Scissor-switched keyboard (or better, but that's unlikely in a laptop)
- Wifi a/b/g/n
- Bluetooth
- If there are camera/mic, hardware switch for each
- HDMI and DisplayPort outputs
- Gigabit ethernet
- Non-x86 architecture (MIPS preferred just now)
- I've come to love the trackpoint, but a really good touchpad can be fine
- Best (in both quality and volume) speakers possible in the space available
- Touchscreen
- Fold-down ("convert to tablet") chassis for the touchscreen
