I have been using a 5th gen X1 carbon 1080p with Linux for work for over a year. I would say it's slightly inferior to the mbp except in the weight category. The screen is dimmer (maybe the 4k is better), the webcam/mic/speakers are worse, the battery is slightly worse, and the trackpad is much worse. The trackpoint is nice, and the proper keyboard is nice (though karabiner on Mac os enabled me to get productive with fewer keys). The USB-A ports are nice, and the HDMI is nice. The build quality is great. Software is great. I just miss the trackpad gestures. It's a different form factor. Slightly lighter, smaller screen.
