I scored an "open box" Dell Pro 14 Plus on eBay for about 600USD. It's got two USB-A ports, two USB4 ports, built-in Ethernet, 4G LTE, upgradeable storage, and decent Linux support (on Ubuntu LTS at least). The battery is field-replaceable but the 32GB RAM is soldered. (There are other models with upgradeable RAM.)
It's got a middling display (the 2-in-1 display is better) and a somewhat dated Hawk Point SoC, but it's fine for running to a client's site for imaging or network troubleshooting or what have you. I still don't think it's going to last very long, but it's a nice complement to the MacBook I use for client dev work and it didn't break the bank.
Interesting - hadn't heard of that model line from them (but then I spend less time with hardware today than before), and found their 16G model is $669 (Model: PB14255), but non-touch. In looking at the customized version, at least they're not charging stupid money for a touchscreen - $100.75 - BUT going with that custom version means the price now shoots up to $1172.47 !!!
