- FP4 BGA socket support (Carrizo / Carrizo-L... but mostly Carrizo)
- If  Carrizo has DDR4 support... DDR4 support!
- Bluetooth
- Wifi
- Webcam
- A space for a keyboard to fit into the chassis
- A mousepad
- space and connectivity to one Sata 2.5" device
- USB 3.0 ports (at least 4)
- ethernet port
- mic in
- audio out
- HDMI or DisplayPort out
- Ability to use (as close as possible to) every last cubic centimeter of space remaining empty in the chassis for batteries... and then the ability to connect an external battery pack in addition to that :'}
- Comes with FreeSync-compatible screen... personal preference 1080p with a 15.6" diagonal (should mean dimensions are 13.6" x 7.6"). Although that may change depending on how size/resolution affects cost.

That's my feature list :D

Changable LiFePO4 batteries like the ones RC people use (hobbyking.com)
nice small screen (if possible IPS)

2x eathernet jacks
alot of usb jacks
swapable internals (ssd, ram)
thinklight would be nice
NO SPEAKERS
audio card ( mic in, line in, headphone out, line out)
if possible a better audio card (with decent dac, and headphone amp) => can help design those
open software and all that good stuff

All I/O connectors optically isolated and with software enables both on data lines and
on power lines. use cases:


  • charging USB devices without letting them enumerate
  • communicating with mobile phones without letting them charge (if laptop is low on battery or w/e)
  • providing 5V USB power to a protoboard without the chance to produce wierdness on data lines
  • administrator-enable for devices with DMA access (external/internal PCI-e)
  • controlled add/remove of PCI-e devices (hotplug?)
