I've purchased a 2017 MacBook and three MacBook Pros (2007 15", 2009, and 2014) and while these are used every day, it's my Carbon X1 (third generation) which really shines. It has three "input modes" (TrackPoint, touch screen, and TouchPad, a great keyboard, and a 14" matte screen that doesn't reflect light. To top it off, the X1 is less expensive with specs better than any MacBook Pro. I'm an Apple/MacBook Pro fan, but (to echo others here) if I had to decide today on a new laptop it would be the X1 6th generation. I agree that Apple is losing its way when it comes to laptops.

That being said, the X1 touch pad with Synaptics software can't match a Mac touchpad. If you're not willing to make a compromise on this specific requirement then stick with your Mac.
