If Lenovo just took the original X1 Carbon, swapped in a 1440p screen, added a 16 GB RAM option, swapped in a Broadwell chip, and improved the battery life, it would be fantastic. I have the original X1 Carbon, and it's the perfect laptop.

The trackpad would still be crap, while I have injury issues with the trackpoint. But ya, it would be nice otherwise (I have an X1 Carbon Touch from work, personally use a rMBP).

I don't know anything about the quality of the trackpad, as I've had it disabled since the day I got my X1 Carbon (as I've done with all my ThinkPads), but I've never heard any major complaints about it before this from others.

Almost everyone in our office has X1s (we refreshed at the same time and this was the best available); and it is a universal complaint. The trackpoint really kills the nerves in my thumb tips, so I'd prefer not to use it.
