A pipe dream:
"
- Can stay powered on for 48 hrs w/o charging.
* Can watch five feature-length movies
w/o charging.
* Can browse the web or read eBooks
for 16 hours without charging.
- Uninterrupted Power and Self-Charging.
* built-in solar panels to recharge outdoors.
- "Sufficient" RAM size, CPU speed and
HDD/SSD/memristor/whatevs storage.
* Ever-changing.
* Today, in 2023:
+ 64 GiB RAM
+ 24 perf cores; >= 3.0GHz
+ 6 efficiency cores; >= 0.8GHz
* 4TiB persistent storage
"
Self-charging is interesting. Seems like it would be difficult, since you would have to have your screen at a very specific angle, given the lid of the laptop has the most non-screen and non-keyboard surface area.

The panel can sit on the lid, but it could “flip out” so that even though the screen is facing you, the solar panel could face upwards toward the sky at the same time :D

But I reckon that the other ideas would be doable already today.
It's like the Chameleon XLE of laptops.
