A decent portable computer.
Obscenely large, replaceable battery.
small screen (1080p or 720p at 10~13in) that i can actually slide up when open so i don't have to look down and kill my neck/back.
decent mechanical keyboard at least 90% size (like the eeepc1000)
it can be low on CPU but should have the most connectivity it can. It can weight a little more than a 15" gaming laptop weights today.

- dijit 10y agoLenovo haven't made a decent thinkpad in multiple years now.
- 4ad 10y agoX61T was the pinnacle for me.

- dijit 10y agolooks like you're missing a decent operating system.
- 4ad 10y agoHigher resolution 1400x1050 4:3 screen, instead of 1280x800 widescreen. As a programmer I like large wide screens, but when it comes to laptops, I prefer 4:3 screens because I never have enough vertical screen estate. The 16:10 screen in X201 was still usable, but with X220 they switched to a 16:9 1366x768 screen. This killed the X series for me. Nowadays they have higher resolution screens (still 16:9 though, which is stupid, because the vertical display bezels are huge, they could have put a 16:10 display there easily), I have a 1920x1080 X250. However, it's not very good. The pixel density is too high so you can't use in 1:1 mode, but it's too low to be used in retina mode. I need something like 1.33x scaling, which Linux doesn't do very well.

- Hondor 10y agoFor laptops with removable batteries, you can buy aftermarket extra-sized batteries. They double as a stand which helps with your screen height problem too.
