Hi,
What about start from a Lenovo Thinkpad laptop,
I would be very interested because I like Thinkpads, but I'd like a system that consume much less power, and this just doesn't exist on the market yet.
You are by no means the first person to think of this. Hardware people in Cambridge are looking at actually doing this (with an arm64 chip such as AMD's). The usual problem is finding enough time and money, but there are a good number of developers out there who want a half-decent arm laptop. Obviously arm64+32G RAM+offchip video would be aiming quite a lot higher (and more expensive) than the EOMA concept (32bit arm, 2G RAM, one nice low-power SOC). Both have their place - the former may not turn out to be particularly low-power...

I'll buy a 64 bit ARM laptop tomorrow if it will help me do some of the stuff I want to do with higher data rate "stuff" and GNURadio :)
Good luck to whoever's planning this :)
[Oh, and give my love to Debconf: hope to catch up on the video of the ARM sessions]
