    I want a laptop with a trackpoint, keyboard with good (like Model M) key travel and resistance (and water resilience too), color e-ink display (preferably 5:4 or 4:3 screen ratio) with good refresh rate, everything removable, 5G modem, GPIO, additional SSD slot, good set and amount of interfaces (not an Apple fan), and - important - chassis and hinges not made of shit.

    Just in case somebody from Lenovo is lurking here.

      like Model M

      Imagine a laptop with a low-profile buckling spring keyboard… just click-clacking away in Starbucks, annoying everyone around you but you don’t care because you have the greatest keyboard ever

        They can be silent too, so not even that problem.

        Also where I sometimes go with a laptop, nobody will hear the click-clacking.

        Not to mention it would weigh about 2kg more than a normal laptop due to the steel plates.

        I totally wouldn’t mind that. My daily driver keyboard is an XT Model F lmao
