This might be weird, but what I want is something like a real TempleOS. Maybe something like a kernel and all the apps are written in Rebol, where the whole base system including window manager is 1MB max and you can easily, instantly drop into a mode where you can edit anything down to memory and CPU registers. It seems to me that what the Linux desktop gives you is a bad compromise between this hackers paradise (which isn't very practical and very productive in one quirky mode) and a software developers paradise (quite practical and productive in a wide variety of modes). The right solution is a late 2016 MBPr (the one with magsafe and SD card and good keyboard), and a Thinkpad with my fantasy RebolOS running on it.
