I'd like a laptop with a lot of good and useful ports, long battery life, and great screen. Great performance would be nice as well. I had a Surface Pro 4, and got rid of it recently, due to the battery life. I like to have a 2 in 1 style where I can use this laptop in tablet and it supports a PEN as well. Or if this type of machine is not possible, then a laptop is fine. If it can handle it, I would like to maybe use it to replace my 4 year old gaming system and hook it up to my 34" ultrawide dell monitor and use it for some games and stuff. Only if I consider the external GPU for gaming. For basic stuff, without it.
