None of those personally sound that impressive to me. What I think was a concept many submitted in various forms is a handheld touch type keyboard pocket netbook,pocket UMPC, or pocket laptop. There are a lot of mobile users that want a pocket size computer but not a small palm size computer but more of a modern version of the handhelds of the 1990's like the Psion 5mx or HP Jornada 720's; something long enough to provide room for an integrated touch type keyboard NOT a thumb keyboard yet still small enough to fit in a large inside jacket pocket.

That is an idea that should be created and sold to the market place.

Points 1 and 2 (detachable high quality webcams) would be the easiest to achieve. Points 3 to 5 are a different matter.

The cooling system is a bit tricky but what if we freed up the mobo, CPU and GPU by separating them from the regular display and keyboard of a laptop? That would make it possible for even conventional cooling methods like heat pipes and air cooling to maintain working temperatures.

Proximity sensors riged to turn the display off are really not as practical as having the device detect an idle keyboard.

For point #5 if we're talking about a gaming notebook, i wouldn't mind it if it's huge or heavy just as long as it can run beefy graphics. If the GPU can be upgraded then I'd be in heaven. Maybe we don't need to change industry standards or provide MXM modules. Why not use current standards and modify the architecture of the laptop itself so that it can accomodate expansion or upgrades? Here's one solution i've been thinking of:

The rest(dual, detachable screen and keyeboards) would just be icing ong the cake.

I am anxiously awaiting the laser projection LED displays, where you could display your screen on a wall.
