I'm currently very happy with ThinkPad T440s. It covers all your requirements, comes with a FullHD panel (optional touchscreen) and double batteries. The only downside is the new Lenovo touch/clickpad. I got used to it, but it took me a while to figure out the settings which worked for me.

Same here! I like the T440s a lot and get 10h+ out of the double battery under heavy usage incl. WiFi and usable brightness with tlp and roughly the same at a low profile using the standard battery.
Clickpad fix, which feels good:

Decent power management:
