No one can write you need x and y ports or subspace connectivity.

A way to power it, a way to charge a wireless mouse, and a way to connect to an external display. That's my vote.

These are essential for wired connections between devices, such as computers, printers, and routers.

Generally speaking, you'll want at least a few USB-A ports, USB-C (ideally with charging), HDMI for screens, and a headphone jack, though this actually depends on what you use the laptop for. An SD card slot is quite useful if you operate with cameras. Additionally beneficial for wireless connectivity are Bluetooth 5+ and Wi-Fi 6.
