I would prefer if they just make a ARM laptop. Seriously, why aren't there any decent ARM laptops? I know there are a few ARM/MIPS laptops out there but they are all either old(new platforms are much more powerful) or comes locked.
Because demand is extremely low? If it can't run a mass-market OS, anything you make is going to be an extremely niche product.
I like the idea of an Android laptop, but I wonder how well off-the-shelf Android applications would perform on a 16x9 landscape screen with a hardware keyboard and a hard-to-use touch surface.

My laptop doesn't need to be a CPU monster. I'm mostly using it for SSH, vim and surfing the web. And I hate it when the thing heats up like an oven - especially in the summer. (No AC + summer temperatures + aluminum case = inconvenient).
Just give me an ARM-book pro - without an optical drive but with an enormous battery ;)
