Still alive. Need to use a new email that Dell does not have. Ordered one with the 10% coupon and Amex 100/500 offer.

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.

16", Touch, FHD+ 1920x1200, 60Hz, WVA, IPS, 300 nit, ComfortView Plus.
16", Non-Touch, 2.5K 2560x1600, 60Hz, WVA, IPS, Anti-Glare, 300 nit, ComfortView Plus

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. Big Grin laugh out loud

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.

Thank you.

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?

I see touch is $50 more expensive? Maybe only yesterday was the same.

I don't remember saying this wasn't a deal. It's a very good deal, especially with the extra discounts. With that said, I am not sure which Costco laptop you are comparing it too. The most direct comparison at Costco that I am aware of is this HP for $550:
Costco Members: 16" HP OmniBook 5 Laptop: 2K Touch IPS, AMD Ryzen AI 7 350, 16GB RAM $550

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).
