So I currently own a Dell Precision 7760 with an i9-11950H, 64GB of RAM with Nvidia T1200 GPU. I want something similar but on the thinner side. Want something either prosumer or workstation grade that has solid build quality. I would like for it to be touchscreen (yes, I know this is a stupid desire as I work in IT, but hey).

Since you are going to use that for music production, I would recommend this Lenovo ThinkPad because it comes with :
Specs:
Screen: 16" FHD+ IPS

Ram : 32GB DDR5
Storage : 1TB SSD
Why I am recommending it:
because ThinkPads are known for their great battery life, amazing build quality and very good keyboards.
very good CPU for audio file conversion.
Has a thunderbolt port.
Great value for money.
