Have a look at Lenovo's X series.

I was pretty disappointed with the X1, was getting RSI from the trackpoint, while its touchpad was unusable. I got an rMBP and can't be happier. Hopefully the precision touchpad in the new XPS 13 really works.

Got a Dell M3800 expecting a decent trackpad. It's a premium machine and even sub-$500 Acers bring precision trackpads now, right? Wrong, it's excruciatingly low-res and persistently jumps by unpredictable distances on clicking.

Is there a laptop other than these? [1]

They are all limited to 8GB. According to [2] the new X250 is, like the new X1, also a single DIMM.

T450S will have 12 GB (1 DIMM + 4GB soldered), http://www.ubergizmo.com/2015/01/lenovo-thinkpad-t450s/

X230 (Ivy Bridge, 2 years old) supports 16GB and has the good keyboard/trackpad.
