Possible buys
Lenovo Yoga C940-14
Got most stuff. Good hardware (trackpad, keyboard). Around 15k SEK. 2-in-1. Said to have great build-quality. I usually trust Lenovo.
Dell XPS 13
There are some versions. Seems a few thousands more expensive than XPS 13 though. Around 18k SEK. 2-in-1. Seems to be really good looking but crap keyboard.
HP Spectre x360 13
Many seem to prefer this over the Lenovo. Seems like the hardware is basically as good. This one should have a bit more battery life in general. Around 17k SEK. Some say these have bad build quality. OLED-screen (unsure if this is great, or too battery consuming though)
