A laptop needs to be able to replace my desktop (primarily a speed issue)
I want it configurable to include all wireless connectivity options (WiFi, Bluetooth, cellular 3G - HSDPA & HSUPA) and they need to be able to work concurrently.
It needs to have something other than the standard MS bluetooth stack, which is - frankly - pants.
I want it to be able to *charge* (not simply run) from car and aeroplane power outlets. Ideally, it should charge while being used but I'd live with charging when the actual laptop is off.
I'd like it not to fry my legs if I have to use it on my lap.
I'd like a webcam built in: It would be more robust than an add-on cam and be closer to the screen. I'm fed up with video conversations with people who aren't looking at me because their webcam is so far from their video window.
Long, long battery life. Ideally 6 hours plus. And a wizard which would help me configure power options (do I want the network card powered up?) by telling me the (estimated) cost or benefit in run time of having the various options on or off.
It needs to be able to be covered by a worldwide fix-on-site warranty. If my screen breaks when I'm travelling, I want to be up and running in a few hours.
Out-there ideas:
I'd like the keyboard to pop out and be usable wirelessly at a distance from the laptop. I'd like a pop-out wireless mouse/trackpad too: When I'm working at my desk, the screen is too close for comfort if I use the built-in and fixed laptop keyboard.
I'd love the LAN connection to pop out and connect wirelessly to the laptop too. That way I can connect to hotel (etc.) networks without having to sit at the desk.
