#2I'd like to see a laptop with an e-ink display I can code on. That way I can go and sit in the sun.

No one does them right. Not even Apple.

Who cares.
Bringing experiments all the way to market is a good thing, just don't buy one and you are sorted.

I would prefer a mechanical or classical keyboard with e-ink key-caps top.

I've typed on one of these (same style i.e. a projection keyboard) and it's not that bad, the zero-tactile feedback takes some getting used to but my wpm doesn't suffer too much. I also only type at 70-120 wpm and never purchased a 'nice' keyboard so I'm certainly not a typing/keyboard enthusiast.
I think a keyboard with each individual key being e-ink would be pretty cool.

#8E-ink displays are awesome and Lenovo never stops innovating. I am bit skeptical about the keyboard feel though.
I really hope that they will take in consideration a double screen for phones too, something like the YotaPhone.

I always turn on 'tap to click' on my trackpad so you can tap anywhere to click, and two finger tap to right click. I haven't missed physical buttons since getting used to this. Is there a particular use case that the physical buttons are better for? I can imagine gaming at least.

I get some serious flashbacks to my old Atari 400 when I think of typing on this thing. It was not the most pleasant typing experience. I guess that it might not matter as I “dock” my laptop when I am at my desk where I do most of my typing.
