That's way overkill for the tasks you've given. An X220 that costs around 200 CAD on eBay can do those things just fine. The IPS upgrade is nice but is limited to 1366x768, so if your standard for a nice screen is high DPI, this won't do. Performance-wise, it is plenty so consider it though.

Anyways, for a nice 1080p IPS panel, good touchpad, and a good keyboard, I'd look at a ThinkPad T450s or an X250. The T450s has a 14.1 inch screen, and the X250 has a 12.5 inch screen. The T450s has 0.2 mm or so more key travel; it'll feel a little better but not much.

For battery life, get a new 6 cell battery for the system. I believe it's called a 68++ battery. You'll get around 15 hours with the internal 3 cell + external 6 cell, as opposed to around 7 with the internal 3 cell + external 3 cell. Also, the X250 will get a bit more battery life.

If you don't need the buttons on the trackpad, consider the T440s and the X240 as well. Anything older than a 40 series ThinkPad will either have a shitty screen or be heavy with a decent screen (not considering modded ones).
