What are your main use cases for such a laptop?
Select as many as you'd like.
How would you prioritise hardware feature requests?
We can't always have what we want. ;-) And every feature might add some cost or development time. Please think closely about which features are really important to you personally and which are only "nice to have"

If you had the choice between the current 15.6" model and a similar 17.3" model, which would you pick?
Assume 15.6" model with current specs at 2.5kg. Assume 17.3" model with bigger screen and chassis, more heavy, slightly better thermals, same desktop CPU and mobile GPU components, same I/O ports, similar TDP / power consumption, similar price.

For Dedicated Graphics, would you prefer NVIDIA or AMD?
AMD dGPU is currently not planned and purely hypothetical. For posterity, assume NVIDIA Ampere and AMD Big Navi or RDNA 2. Please keep in mind the performance-to-watt ratio of each chip vendor's offering. Performance-per-Watt is the crucial metric for laptop systems.

Alternatively, would you sacrifice the Dedicated Graphics and go for a APU-system only instead?
Assume a Desktop-socket AM4 version of AMD Cezanne with it's own iGPU connected to all display outputs. By sacrificing the dGPU, it would be reasonable to use the maximum TDP of the CPU platform (maybe 105W) and provide some headroom for overclocking. This is not planned, but we would like to estimate demand.

Would you like to sacrifice the 2.5" SSD/HDD slot?
