Thinkpads with their red pointing sticks even top this: you can lie like dead in front of your Thinkpad and have even less finger movement -- your forefinger sits on the red pointing stick and your thumb lies on the left mouse key and again you control anything + you are damn fast.
Why do people try to use touch-based devices for productivity work where classic keyboard and trackpad/pointing stick setups and respective UIs/OSes are clearly superior? If people are using Android/iOS as productivity device they need also some kind of mouse pointer on the screen, otherwise finger movement exceeds the limit.
Finally, with current notebooks I get hours of battery time, Retina screens and total silence too (e.g. Macbook Pro Retina 15"). The cost is negligible since it's my working horse.
