The Carbox X1 Gen7 is probably a decent choice, but it will depend on the specs - get at least an i5, and max out the RAM to 16GB - you can't add it later, so make sure to buy one with the 16GB.
What's truly so much better about it compared to T480? Or 7480
Dells IME just suck. YMMV. Compared to the T480 it's more portable and lighter.
I have an x1 Gen7 and it's great. EXCEPT for the battery life which is fucking awful. Maybe 4 hours if you're lucky. It was originally advertised as having 18 hours.
If you go with the T480 (not sure about the S model) you can run dual batteries and it's runds FOREVER
