Think this over for a second…
- The novelty of the touchscreen smartphone: over.
- The novelty of a touchscreen tablet: almost — but not completely — over.
- The novelty of a touchscreen laptop? Paradoxically, that’s still kind of sexy.
Dinosar-aged though they may be, laptops don’t often include multi-touch displays. There are those huge all-in-One touchscreen desktop PCs made by the HP and Dell that are popular these days, but it’s not often that we see touchscreens extended to the laptop realm, especially not for consumer models. But if you’re looking for a solid, high-performance laptop with a cool bonus feature, you might be interested in this.
The latest iteration of the Dell XPS 15 has all the top-flight specs of the XPS line combined with the multi-touch functionality for gaming, advanced work sessions, or just because you want an input method that doesn’t involve a trackpad. This PC houses a 1TB HDD, 8GB RAM, and a dual-core Intel Core i5 CPU, all in an anodized aluminum case. There’s also 1GB GeForce GT 525M graphics and built-in JBL speakers.
Unfortunately, the 15-inch multi-touch screen is not HD, it’s just only 1366×768. However, the built-in webcam is HD and Skype-certified, and the 9-cell battery gives it an above average lifespan. There are plenty of ports to connect, including HDMI, mini DisplayPort (to remedy the display situation), a 9-in-1 card reader, USB 3.0, and a USB2.0/eSATA combo port.
At $559 off the retail price, this is a solid deal on a fun laptop that will actually stand up to rigorous use once the novelty wears off. The specifications are fine, but if you are looking for something with a touchscreen, then this deal really shines.
