Yeah, other than keyboard/touchpad this looks perfect (especially matte screen and really good RAM). My current laptop, a Dell Latitude E7440, has many shortcomings but got this right and I have a lot of trouble finding a replacement because I don't want to give up on all that:

* centered touchpad (edit: well, kinda)

* touchpad with physical buttons below _and above_, including a _middle button_

* trackpad, though I don't use it much

* no numpad so there's more room for the rest of the keyboard (it's a 14" laptop) and it feels great

* arrows slightly out of the keyboard layout, with adjacent page up/down

* keys feel great, but I guess that's common now

Some more notes:

* old-school docking system, which I prefer over usb C and such

* (this one's a con) weird home/end button position, but nothing serious
