How about checksums to detect corruption on those fragile spinning disks you're picking up and carrying around the room? Or quick and efficient snapshots, scheduled frequently? This is seriously disappointing, if not surprising.

Another useful laptop feature is the option to use duplicate blocks as a poor man's RAID (zfs set copies option). Could be used for system files or other critical data.
