Specs for perfect laptop?

[Recycled]

I know there will be disagreement here, and I am interested in what everyone thinks...

The perfect laptop....

Has a main battery, plus a battery that fits in the DVD drive bay so I can swap one at a time, and keep it running.

Has cheap after-market parts available for it.

Is a convertible, with a screen that swivels over the keyboard.

Has dual digitizers: resistive and active digitizer.

Has room for a 12.5mm tall 2.5" SATA HDD, plus a m-SATA (mini-PCI-e type) SSD. The BIOS has been tested for huge capacities on both. There is no excuse for not supporting 25TB hard disks, or for not supporting SATA port multipliers.

Has user-upgradable RAM via DIMMs, and supports a huge amount of RAM. None of that Atom "2GB is all You will ever need, because Intel says so" or "OK, we heard You and now 4GB is all You will never need" crap.

Has a user-replaceable (socketed) processor.

Has a great and upgradable WiFi card in a mini-PCI-e slot, with great antennas.

Has external ports for:
* USB (many of them)
* SATA
* Headphones & Microphones
* Ethernet (Because I sometimes have to set up a new router.)
* Lock Port (Because I leave it at work from time to time.)

Is easy to repair with cheap replacement parts.

Has infinite battery life.

Weighs nothing.

Costs nothing.

Is only as big as the screen dictates in X and Y, and is nearly 0 thickness in Z.

Is indestructible, which starts with an aluminum case and a tough hinge.

The closest I have come is a used Fujitsu Lifebook T5010.

> Has a main battery, plus a battery that fits in the DVD drive bay

Yes. It also supports BluRay, a second 12.5mm tall 2.5" HDD, and a projector in that bay.

> Has cheap after-market parts available for it.
Yes. All over eBay. I bought a couple of machines for spare parts for $50 each.

> Is a convertible, with a screen that swivels over the keyboard.
Yes.

> Has dual digitizers: resistive and active digitizer.
At my price range (under $200) mine only has an active digitizer. Adding a second capacitive digitizer means buying one from Fujitsu for more than $2,000.00!

Mine supports 1.5TB 12.5mm tall 2.5" hard disks.
The slot for Robson memory was a major disappointment. It did not work, cause my copy of Windows to think it was not valid, and does not support anything but proprietary Robson memory.

I upgraded to 8GB, but am out of room. Upgradability to 64GB or more would be nice. We are at Intel's mercy here.

> Has a user-replaceable (socketed) processor.
Yes. Socket P. I've swapped out a 2.2GHz 3MB of cache chip for a 2.8GHz 6MB of cache chip in 10 minutes!

> Has a great and upgradable WiFi card in a mini-PCI-e slot, with

Only 3.

> * SATA
No.

> * Headphones & Microphones
Yes.

> * Ethernet (Because I sometimes have to set up a new router.)
Yes.

> * Lock Port (Because I leave it at work from time to time.)
Yes.

> Is easy to repair with cheap replacement parts.
Not easy, but doable.

> Has infinite battery life.
6 hours on 2 batteries.

> Weighs nothing.
7 lbs or so.

> Costs nothing.
$200 used on eBay.

> Is only as big as the screen dictates in X and Y, and is

Not really. This thing us huge for a 13.3" laptop.

> Is indestructible, which starts with an aluminum case and

Pretty close. I know they can be broken, but it would take effort.

My reason for posting this is: What is my upgrade path? I have not found an affordable laptop that is close to this thing I'm using. If it just had an extra mini-PCI-e slot for an SSD, and an external SATA port or two, that would be enough.

Someone has to have a great machine that is close to mine, but is a bit newer, and has the things Fujitsu left off my laptop.
