BigTreeTech Panda Touch
If the absence of a touchscreen display is the deciding factor for not purchasing the P1S and opting for the X1 Carbon instead, then I would recommend having a look at the third-party touchscreen display called the Panda Touch by BigTreeTech, which is designed to sit nicely on top of the P1S.
