Got myself the XPS 13 standard and it seems to work well.
Fonts at 3200x1800 looks as great as on a smartphone and I was dubious about the touch screen but it has won me over.
Lazily poking the screen for browsing the web is a mobile paradigm that I welcome on the desktop.
The only thing that annoys me is not having a dedicated home, end, page up and page down buttons. They're mapped to the arrow keys + Fn.
Speaking of Thinkpads. My first is a T450 which I got for work recently.
It's solidly built but lacks a premium feel to it.
Also the display has awful viewing angles.
