This could be cool if:

  • battery life is fantastic
  • form factor is good (my preference: 14")
  • performance is good enough (better than RPi5 ideally, or at least on par)
  • price is reasonable - <$1k
  • marketing is appropriate - don't imply gaming performance when games won't work

I don't need much from a laptop anymore since I have a Steam Deck for games on the go and a desktop PC for everything else.

Keyboard with good travel, decent screen, slots for additional SSDs, integrated 5G connectivity (maybe LoRa too), GPIO pins.

100% yes on "keyboard with good travel," I'm honestly okay with missing the rest on an initial model.
