Thinkpads.
1 comments

Which of the OP's points don't apply to thinkpads? The points about trackpads and speakers certainly apply.
ThinkPad speakers are terrible to the point of being basically unusable even in a quiet room for most video calls.

I can live without the trackpad (once you learn to love the trackpoint you'll never go back to a trackpad) but the speakers and display are the two lacking points. Even though it's a 1440p display, it just doesn't look as nice as a "retina" display and getting a 4k display on a 13" laptop is in my mind an absurd waste of battery and money.
