You just described the XPS 15 9560... Except the Dell gets a mostly proper keyboard with real function keys (this matters greatly to me as a programmer). It's not ThinkPad grade, yet close. (I've tested my colleague's top spec model).
As for Apple, it's a shame they don't ship 32gb laptops with touch screens.
I'm currently on an ageing OG X1 Carbon (i7/8/256), which has a sensational keyboard and track pointer, with a superb light and strong chassis; for my next, I'm hoping they'll upgrade the core count to 4+ and memory to 32, and an AMOLED display.
- highace 9y agoI completely agree about the function keys. That's the only reason I haven't upgraded my 2015 Macbook pro.
- blunte 9y agoIn my experience with this new XPS 15 9560, the touch screen is only marginally useful. It doesn't seem to play well with screen pens, so it's just a thing to smudge your finger grease on if you want to show off.
- saratogacx 9y agoI've found that it was useless until you start to learn what apps end up having a better experience with touch. I use it a lot for document reviews, working with spreadsheets, and anywhere that touch corresponds more with manipulation of the object on screen. I completely disregard it when the laptop is docked though. For me, mouse/kb habits take over.
