the thinkpad x1 carbon is good. i would take it with linux installed. you can switch the distro later and you do not pay for useless windows spyware.

linux runs on all thinkpads. check out other thinkpads too. the x1 carbon is much more expensive but the other ones like the t-series and the p-series which are only a little bit heavier (not much) but more powerful and real workhorses.

dell xps 13 is excellent too and you can also order it with linux.

lenovo has great service. my ssd crashed in another country. they replaced it and even sent me a third one to my address in the first country.
