Ideas and work in progress
laptop-light
Next laptop would be lighter -
or similar weight but longer battery life
(instead of more powerful).
Chromebook
Chromebooks are laptop-ish machines to only run Google ChromeOS.
Some of them can be re-purposed to run conventional Linux.
Among Chromebooks using freedom-friendly hardware (e.g not NVIDIA or Broadcom)
with re-purposing software already developed (e.g. (supported)[] by Libreboot)
one option looks readily usable:

ASUS Chromebook C201PA (veyron speedy).

Pros:

Should work with Debian
Maybe 10+ hours battery life
Free bootloader
Not prime suspect of NSA-crippled crypto chips
Localized keyboard (for scandinavian, at least)

Cons:

Maybe too slow screen drawing (no hardware 3D graphics)
Maybe too slow disk access (MicroSD storage)
Maybe too low quality keyboard

Availability:

(Ministry of Freedom)[minifree]

bootloader pre-flashed
Likely UK keyboard
Likely power supply w/ UK plug


(Misc. danish webshops)[edbpriser]

Need re-flashing bootloader
Scandinavian keyboard
Power supply w/ europlug


(HiSense ChromeBook 11 seems similar in specification to ASUS Chromebook C201PA,
but in unavailable in scandinavia).

A few projects exists to create Open Source Hardware laptops,
with one promising near-future option:
