As a Linux user I've had many Thinkpads. X1 Carbon does have a great keyboard. But there's to my knowledge no other laptop with a display as good as a Macbook's retina. Look at any Thinkpad next to a retina display, it's night and day. That's why keep using a 2015 MBP with Linux as my daily driver. Looks like I might be able to upgrade soon thanks to Asahi.
The Dell XPS has a fantastic OLED screen that is better than anything I've ever used before. I think the Apple laptops have slightly higher pixel densities, but it's all the same when they're as dense as they are.
