- Hardware kill switches, to disable mic & camera.
- Hardware kill switches for both the bluetooth radio and the built-in wifi adapter.
- Needs to look good at 1024x768 resolution (I only code at that resolution, because although large resolutions are great, I have to put in extra effort to see code at higher resolutions)
- Built in camera cover that slides closed, which, alongside a kill switch gives me extra peace of mind (incase my OS gets compromised through silly mistakes like running malware laced office documents). Yes, some would call this paranoia, but paranoia does not work retroactively; you have to be proactive.
- Don't care about the keyboard, since I have only ever used external USB office keyboards.
- If the processor is an Intel, I want the Management Engine removed, preferably by someone else as I am at a loss as to how to disable that thing
- I only ever use the mains power supply to power my laptop. Why let a battery degrade over time from being constantly at 100% charge? It would be cool if I could just take out the battery and have the laptop still work with a mains supply.

- sysadm1n 5y agoI prefer a low resolution, because some windows don't honor my zoom state and I have to manually press CTRL & + With a low resolution, my productivity goes through the roof. Zoomed in text just doesn't cut it
