Thinkpads are pretty much the worst form factor for a laptop that doesn't transition into "toy" space.

Source: forced to use one daily. If I could get a Mac laptop running Linux but with the input smarts of the Apple trackpad and keyboard, I would in a heartbeat.

I recommend a dell xps 13 developer edition

The trackpad is superior to apples and it can come preloaded with linux

That shows that 1) people are different or 2) you are a fan of Apple hardware. It doesn't show that Thinkpads are bad. IMO they are light-years ahead of anything Apple sells.

Out of curiosity, how do use it without bumping the trackpad while typing?

My trackpad is automatically muted/unresponsive while I'm typing. I suggest you figure out how to get palm rejection to activate/work on your setup, and to look if a different Thinkpad series might better fit your body (ergonomics wise).

There is no option to enable "palm rejection" in the Settings dialog on Ubuntu under "Mouse and Trackpad", as far as I can tell.

It might not be that easy, and could require manually installing some packages.
