So those of you that are smarter than I am on laptop specs. Now I see you can get this same laptop, only with touch for the same price. There is a difference in screens though evidently, but I don't know what that means. Reorder touch or stay with the old screen? Again, it is the same price now for touch, when it wasn't before. Thanks.

Short answer: Get the touch only if you need the touch or you have poorer eyesight.
While I haven't seen either in person and don't know which one looks better, the one big difference is the resolution: The non-touch one has a much higher resolution. Usually, on a monitor, higher resolution is preferable, but it may make text looks too small on a smaller screen. It is adjustable in Windows settings though.
Potentially, a lower resolution screen should also result in longer battery life, but I don't know that for a fact (or if touch vs. non-touch is also a factor on battery drain).
Ultimately, do it the Slickdeals way: Get both, try them and return the unwanted one.

Has anyone had experience with Dell ordering two laptops, trying them both, and returning one? Is there a restocking fee?
Unfortunately my once 20/20 eyesight is no more. I need glasses for everything now.

You may enjoy the 1920x1200 screen better then. But I have no personal experience with Dell returns.
Buying both to compare does make sense, but I was a also bit facetious about it. Not sure if my humor came across correctly. As an alternative approach, is there a Best Buy near you where, among their demo models, you could compare screens with different resolutions?

The Dell has a better screen (if you don't need touch), but the HP has a better CPU, adds the touch feature and a 2nd year warranty. I feel they are a comparable value at $495 and $550 respectively. The Dell wins on value if you can get an extra discount (and don't care for the better CPU and the touch feature).
I didn't think much of the touch feature in laptops till my laptop accidentally fell down and the mousepad started misbehaving. I suppose I could look at opening it up and replacing the touchpad but I just started using the touch screen (and an external mouse when in a convenient location to do so, much easier to use than the mousepad).

Third page after you add it to cart, it's still there. Will bring the price to $550.
