HP Spectre 13 (v021nr) has quite good build quality in my opinion, coming from previously using only Macbook Pros.

It has 6th gen Intel i7, USB-C (one gen 1, two gen 2 which are also Thunderbolt 3), it was $1100, weighs 2.4 pounds. It's been the best Linux machine out of the gate I've had. Trackpad works, wireless works, the one glitch I'm running into right now starting with kernel 4.8 is suspend. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=185521

Nope, the x360 got updated. The 13 I have is not the x360, it's the lighter one with still 6th gen, just got it last month, firmware is mid August.
