This might be unusual but:

1. I want a 17" wide screen convertible tablet. It should have a high res screen, 1680x1050ish. Even though it has a huge surface area, it should be *thin*. So, basically, a MacBook Pro-like convertible. HP has some nice 17" screen laptops but they're all so thick.
I have a 14" Gateway convertible and love it for what it is but I hate the humped battery they put on it. Very unwieldy.

2. I am willing to give up many "bonus" items (does a laptop really need a subwoofer?) in order to get goal #1 above.

3. Extremely good battery life (no less than 6 hours). I am willing to sacrifice a few features to make room for a battery that doesn't protrude from the main system.

4. Built in DVD writer is nice but not essential if system can be kept thin.

5. As, mv mentioned, *quiet*.

6. As JDTagish mentioned, A/C on the back and at least one USB port there too. Better cooling. No more egg cookers, please.

6. I don't care about the numeric keypad.

7. I would hope the above system could come with a wide variety of options. Personally, I don't need the fastest biggest hard drive on the market. By having some basic options, hopefully this tablet could still be affordable while giving power users everything that they want.

8. Since this is a convertible, the microphone should not be covered when the screen is rotated into tablet mode. An arrayed microphone system would be a nice bonus.
