Definitely with the 14" model idea, but keep Optimus. Can't see why we would want to rid ourselves of it. - Try for an inch or so thick with seperate cooling fans for the CPU and GPU - Large battery with long running times. Sacrifice the 2.5" HDD if you have to. - Don't waste space by making the laptop height disappear under the unit like in the W230S. Use that space for battery or slant the laptop at a few degrees for better ergonomics. - Don't use a pentile display, but stick with IPS. - Solder the CPU and GPU. It's not a popular idea, but it seems necessary for portability. So basically: 14" FHD/QHD screen Quad core i7 GTX x70M graphics >70Wh battery 2x M.2 or mSATA 2 cooling fans with shared heatpipes between CPU and GPU <30mm thick. This is engineerable I believe.

Finally getting some good photos of this thing. Thanks godfafa!

Eurocom M5 Pro has Matte screen! Only in 1080p though. 4k display is semi glossy.

It looks like it given the desktop class CPU, using LGA1150 instead of LGA2011 (?). Lower TDP = greater efficiency = less cooling requirement = thinner model (hopefully).

I hope it doesn't use a Pentile subpixel arrangement.
