How about a regular-sized laptop with:
- long life, exchangable battery with 12-16 hours of regular use
- plenty of USB ports (6 minimum)
- plenty of other useful ports
- line-out (analog) and SPDIF (digital) audio ports
- a VGA port to support old beamers.
- a physical 'off' switch for the internal microphone
- a large, very quiet chassis cooling fan
- a firmware that supports emergency recovery flashing from USB stick
- relatively easy to access and replace RAM and GPU board
- an easy way to support an external WiFi antenna
- etc.
