Laptop 2-in-1 USB-C Chargeable Recommendations

Hi everybody,

I'm in a little pickle of jam and requiring some friendly advice and recommendations.
I am in need of a 2-in-1 laptop, unfortunately not just a touchscreen laptop, it has to be a 2-in-1 convertible due to required uses.
The required features; basically the only required feature is that it needs to be USB-C chargeable. The unit will be heading with me to various locations where I will have no access to power outside of my own powerbanks for a few days at a time. But it does need to be strong enough to handle Lightroom, so basic Photoshop use.
Features that I really would like to have but aren't required are; UHD screen in first place, and numpad in second.

Budget is around the $2k mark.
Deadline is start of July. I leave the second week of July, so I have to have a device by then. (This is saddening as I recently read about the new XPS 13 2-in-1 coming out early August I believe)

I know the 4K screen won't help with battery life, it is a trade-off I am willing to make. And numpads generally are on larger models only, which I am fine with.

Some options I have looked at;
Lenovo Yoga 730 15" - The other day (I believe the sale discount ended yesterday) I was able to customise one, 4K screen, other seemingly good specs, for just under $2k, however I realised that the 15" model isn't chargeable via USB-C, only the smaller 13" model, as well as there's the whole problem with the wifi module, which I was pretty put off by the idea of having to do all that running around to get it replaced with the Intel wifi module.

Asus Zenbook Flip S UX370UA - Asus website states this has a 4k option, however I have not been able to find it anywhere.

HP ENVY X360 - 13-ar0029au $2.1K - 4K screen, everything else seems pretty good, but I am not 100% sure if it is USB-C chargeable.

Dell Inspiron 14 5000 14" Ryzen7 3700U $1.7K - This one caught my eye really early, the only downside is that it doesn't have a 4K screen (or numpad, but I have pretty much given up on that at this stage), however since it is a new model, I haven't really been able to find any reviews about it. Again not sure if this is USB-C chargeable.

If anyone has any other suggestions, or thoughts, I would greatly appreciate the help!

    I have the HP - it is good - long battery life, USB Chargaeble on a power bank, gorgeous screen.

    I picked mine up a couple of years ago on a $1499 deal through Ozbargain, though it is the I5/256/8G model.

    • Thanks for that! It has certainly made me favour the HP. Sadly HP's online store is the only place that has that exact specific model, so I'll keep my fingers crossed for a deal in the next week that includes it, to save a few pennies!
