I'll be the guy to recommend/shill Lenovo's Thinkpad range, I've been using my T480s for three years now, struggle with a reason to change to anything else.
The trackpad isn't as good, goes without saying as Apple have a faustian deal on their trackpad tech, but apparently some folks have replaced the T480's trackpad with the glass one from the the X1 [1] with great results - something I'm thinking of once my T480s goes out of warranty.
I am a person who did that swap on my T480s with the glass trackpad. It is glorious. Easy to do and cannot recommend enough. Also very much satisfied with the T480s and I am a notorious laptop hopper. Although the System76's with Coreboot are starting to creep into my mind, but I know the quality will not be near that of the Lenovo.
