Dream Computer
Introduction
Background
Like most people who use computers with regularity, I've come to have a personal definition of what my "perfect" computer would be. This document is an attempt to outline that specification, so when it comes time to buy a new device, I know exactly what I want.
It is a work-in-progress.
Overview
A clamshell convertible laptop which can unfold 360 degrees to become a tablet, with a roughly seven inch screen.
Specifications
Internals
Battery
No clue
Processor
Something that doesn't really use power if not in use - so like ARM maybe? I don't know.
Radios
Accelerometer
NOPE.
WiFi
As long as it has a hardware off-switch. Something that allows hotspotting/peer sharing.
Externals
Screen
E-ink touchscreen, nearly no bezel on the long face with thick short-face bezels (for gripping in tablet)
Keyboard
Programmer's dvorak layout
Ports
USB
Camera
A camera in the bezel, so paper can be leaned between the keyboard and screen and be photographed at a fixed distance.
