I was in the same boat and bailed earlier this year. Check out the Dell Developer Edition Laptops[0]. I find the trackpad is about on par with the pre-force-touch trackpads from MBPs a year or two ago. Slightly loud/heavy click but tracks well and filters out unintentional palm input well. The rest of the hardware isn't bad, either. PCs have come a long way from cheap, creaky cases and weak, floppy hinges.
