I certainly know where you are coming from with regards to keyboard and trackpad preferences. However my experiences are different than yours...... my MacBook was so sensitive to any touch of the trackpad while typing that I looked for ways to turn off the trackpad. Absolutely hated that experience. My XPS-13 is just the opposite and a dramatic improvement. I found the screen very easy to calibrate with my Xrite and it was a whopping $800.00 less expensive than a comparable MacBook Pro 13.
Horses for courses.......
