1. 1920x1200 display at a minimum. 3:2 is even better as long as the width is still there. I don't care if there are black bars on my movies, I want a tall screen. There is no technical reason to require a squinty screen ratio in order to get 2 documents side by side.
2. The things I touch don't suck. decent construction, rubberized plastic or aluminimum, decent keyboard, decent trackpad.
3. Reliable components. No killer wifi. I will check the arch wiki to make sure linux won't be death by a thousand papercuts. I don't mind if there is some setup as long as I can put that entire setup into a single shell script. I don't need a discrete gpu.
