I don't even care about that price point either, I'd just like that feature set, a and mouse buttons. Far too many new laptops are putting in buttonless clickpads, which might work fine if you only need one mouse button but which are unusable if you use three.

My ideal laptop would be the ThinkPad 9 Slim (13", 3200x1800), with its TrackPoint, but with actual buttons to go with the TrackPoint. Or, to look at that another way: the X1 Carbon with a 3200x1800 or better screen.

Probably not. Intel charges a large premium for its crystal-well parts. Here are tray prices: http://ark.intel.com/products/codename/51802/Crystal-Well

Im sure they get discounts... but how much can it be?

with the exception of the touch screen, which you can pretend isn't a touchscreen.

What? 1920x1080 is nowhere near QHD+.

That one is only 1080p.

Non-touch seems like it's becoming less and less common with Windows laptops. I imagine Microsoft has been pushing pretty hard for it since Windows 8.
