A docking station, so I can use an external mouse/keyboard/monitor when it is at home. A decent keyboard (IBM's are great) so you don't go nuts on the road. A decent sized screen so you can actually use the box without squinting on the road. Long battery life, for road trips, and so you can watch a DVD. A DVD drive, so you have something to do on the plane besides hack. If you've got the $$, the IBM Thinkpads are without peer.
