> I do also recommend the touchscreen.

Care to share your usecase(s) that drive why you'd recommend the touchscreen?

On the plus side, I would imagine higher resolution translates to crisper text.

But, at the moment, I couldn't justify it to myself for several reasons:

1. Perceived negative impact on battery uptime

2. Screen wobble and fingerprints on touch

3. $350 premium over equivalent non-touch spec

I bought XPS 15 9550 two years ago, maxed out with specs, and totally regret paying extra for touch screen and the hi-def screen, what a waste of money.

the screen cannot be folded backward so touch screen cannot be used as tablet and thus wasting my money

hi-def screen is is useless on 15" display

other than that, my laptop is working fine with no HW issues

I too have an 9550, but enjoy the 4k screen a lot, it really helps with my workflow.
