The best you can get right now hands down is the Thinkpad A no doubt. Configure it as a 2700U and multi-touch display and base memory. You can install better memory for yourself, and even an PCIe NVMe SSD for a nice boost. Or pay the 100-300USD to not do it. It can do light gaming and all. It's about ~950USD. This can sustain performance for days due to it's thermals.

Unless looks and flexibility is more important than performance, as if you don't game or do anything remotely intensive in a browser, in which case the Matebook D works since it's much cheaper at around 550USD.

But whatever you do, don't get the HPs. Bad screens (generally hit or miss depending which on you get and when) and they are thermally bad, limiting performance. Not to mention the half-decent Envys still cost more than the Matebook.

EDIT: Other dude is right, might want to look into the E485 or E585 if you want better thermals. Not to mention it'll cost about 600USD to 800USD USD. There are some stuff missing from it, but the performance should be similar for longer.
