Laptop Recs for IB

I currently have a MacBook Pro, but I am looking to replace it with a Windows laptop mainly for finance work, Excel, modeling, and general workflow.

I am looking for something that feels as close to a MacBook as possible in terms of build quality, speed, trackpad, screen, battery life, and overall smoothness. The main thing that has kept me away from Windows laptops is that many of them tend to feel slow or sluggish compared to a MacBook.

Right now, I am considering the new Dell XPS 14, but I wanted to ask for suggestions before buying.
