    It's going to be a

    15.4" LED Backlit widescreen (very thin border around the screen)
    2.6-3 GHz Dual Core Penryn Processor
    4 GB DDR3-800
    64-128 GB SSD Drive
    Intel X4500, Montevina chipset (I'm not a gamer)
    Integrated WiMAX, Wireless N (final rev.), Bluetooth 2.0, & TPM
    Fingerprint Reader
    Webcam 1.3-2 MP
    eSATA port
    64-bit Windows Vista Business or Ultimate


    All in a nice 5 LB 1.2" thick package (that weight should include the 9 cell battery that'll keep me going for 8 hours) & super slim charger

    Mmmmmmm I can't wait :) hahahaha

    It's not that far out. We've already got LED, Penryn is just around the corner, you can get 4 GIG RAM, though not at 800 MHz yet (well, you can, but it's pointless to do so), you can get a 128 GB SSD if your last name is Rockefeller or Gates, the X4500 is I believe the next chipset, Wireless N final will be here soon, and the fingerprint reader, webcam, eSATA, and Windows are already out. I've even got the webcam already :p.

    It's looking too far ahead, though, unless you're made of money. Might as well focus on the more-near future. And 8 hours will only be on reduced brightness.

    HAHAHA...the possibilities are endless...but I regret to inform you all of the fact that you're all behind, my friends.

    Holographic screen creator. No need for some plastic contraption glued to some cheap glass sheet. Instead, why not just switch to a hologram-emitter with a screen that can be downsized from 15.4" to a 50" widescreen display?

    If that's TOO far into the future, let's just go w/ the 15.4" OLED display that'll become reality by 2010. 10,000:1 contrast (Samsung and Sony are able to manufacture it, though Sony is only going to be able to manufacture 1,000 a month by end of this year. Currently rated to be 3 credit cards thick)

    8 GHz Octo-Core Processor - Minimized power consumption. Unique in this CPU is its ability of all 8 cores to function as one core when running applications that can only read one core...thus resulting in cases in which the CPU appears to be running with 32ghz clockspeeds.

    12 GB DDR6-1800 - Probably completely unnecessary with such drastic processing power...but hey...if it's ram, you can never have too much!

    640-1280 GB SSD Drive - I think if this were possible to make this today, it would cost thousands just to make even one.

    Integrated *Enhanced* WiMAX (capable of reaching original WiMAX transmitters from thousands of miles away), Wireless Super-N, Bluetooth 5.0

    Webcam 11 MP

    eSATA port

    Windows 7 - Synchronized A.I. Edition. OS combined w/ laptop technology will be capable of decrypting my brainwaves and utilizing them to complete tasks quickly and efficiently. There won't be any need for a biometric fingerprint scanner since my brainwave signature will be unique. Thus there won't be a need for extra fingerprints!!

    :cool:

    Anyone that thinks that "the notebook i'm going to buy" is something that's impossible for something 12 months from now hasn't watched computer techonology over the last 5-10 years. Anyone that has knows it's very likely.

    Seems about right, that's the first sensible post about what to expect in a few years yet.

    Get the BitMicro 416GB SSD with 100MB/s read/write, it's going to be out soon, by 2009 it will probably *only* be $10,000. Lol.

    Oh, and mine isn't? OLED technology is closer down the road than you think! The only "unrealistic"(or, is it?) part about my notebook was the AI edition of windows, LOL. The rest is probably 2-3 years down the road, imminent.

    Everything is relative...

    I want a notebook with following spec :)

    Variable CPU, variable speed, variable core with variable FSB
    Variable RAM: variable MHZ
    Variable HD of variable type
    Variable number of variable type of GPU
    Variable screensize with variable resolution with variable brightness and thickness

    Personally I think the most unrealistic thing on the list is the 5lb package and 8 hour battery life. Battery weight and life just doesn't seem to be making any headway these days...
