As much as I'd love the ultrabook form factor, I think the Lenovo P50 is by far the closest thing to functional for me. I absolutely will not consider - will not even put on the list - a device without a trackpoint-style pointing device. The very first thing I do when I get a new laptop is go into the BIOS and disable the touchpad in hardware. Drives people who sit down at my machine to dumbfounded blank looks, but better that then the frustration of having that thing go off unintentionally. Still will probably miss the old style ThinkPad keyboard like I have on my T520, but the chiclet on the X1 carbon was the best chicket I'd used so I'll probably deal with it ok - too bad that machine was marred by so many other flaws (2nd gen version with horrendous touchpad-as-trackpoint-buttons and missing PrintScn & Break keys).

I'm going to drive my current system with the old i7-2720qm into the ground. Then I'll probably go sniffing around at the P50.
