LG Gram is really nice TBH

Except for that OKish build quality

 

OP, could you provide some links of online stores in your country? The 2 options above aren't the best choice IMO.

I was looking at LG Gram 15 (2018) vs a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon and even though the Thinkpad version I got was $100 more, is slightly more heavy, over an inch shorter, and lacks a touch screen I went with the Thinkpad since the LG Gram just felt cheap.  Don't get me wrong the Gram is a very good laptop but it reminds me of LG's G5 modular phone that they said was metal but felt like plastic.  It just had than thin hollowed feel to it while the Thinkpad feels more rigid and substantial.  XPS's IMO have great sturdy build quality, I am not a fan of their keyboards especially the new magnetic ones but they are usable.  I see you want a 2 in 1 but the X1 Yoga is way too expensive so probably so the 920 would be my pick, but the XPS is a very good pick and in my mind both one be fine.  I would think in the US the XPS might hold its value slightly better...
