khalil13 wrotehey geeks! lets share some ideas and points of view.
what features do you find cool in laptops? ( for example, alienware has the alienFX in which you can customise the lights and their colors)
so what cool thing is there in other laptops?and what do you wish to see in laptops?
share your ideas!
Dual board laptop.
One is ARM with tiny Linux, brower, document editor, skype and few other things onboard. Consumption is very low, so if you interpolate with battery of laptop - it is more than 24 hours of work should be. They are tiny now, look to iphone as example. If it has separate storage - it can be "secure" place to keep important things, and to restore main board system if it is broken (software issues). This board also can play music in background for many hours, can work in background to download some data, or wakeup main computer on some event.
Second board is normal CPU. If design is enough proper, it can use ARM board as "offloading" device, DSP and etc.
This design is reality now:

Another idea, smartphone extender.
Big keyboard and screen, battery, it looks like superslim laptop, but in fact it turns smartphone in a laptop.
You know that most of smartphones have now more RAM and flash that regular computer. The only downside - they are too tiny to do serious work on them.
So what they need? LCD screen (and adapter for it), keyboard, more battery for all those, maybe USB hub for additional storage and peripherals. It is not yet laptop, but it will make you to have laptop :-)
