It would be really cool if someone could do a clean developer book.
Software:
Would love something that comes with a Debian distro installed. Something minimal and clean.
Body:
Brushed metal exterior, hard rubber for hand rests- no sharp edges either (my wrists hate MBP's edges).
Nice big touchpad.
Elegant branding (love the lightbar on the chromebook pixels) but perhaps even more subtle (the new macbooks do a good job of this- eliminating the obnoxious glowing apple). Thin would be good.
Hardware:
500GB SSD would be more than enough.
Don't need GFX card.
8gb ram is more than enough.
Good CPU please.
Fan-less would be amazing.
USB-C would be interesting, at least need a couple of those.
And then a pair of USB-3 ports, and a headphone/mic jack. Maybe an HDMI. It would be good if the internals were simple enough to swap out everything with a small philips head.
MOST IMPORTANT THING:
I can buy replacement parts on your site for everything (screen, keyboard, shell, all of the hardware, touchpad, etc.)
Price:
I would pay anywhere from 1-2k US for this computer. Honestly just to support some healthy competition in the space- I would even go to 2.5k
