I find HP laptops to not feel so well made but maybe thats just me :s, i haven't seen a bigger touchscreen laptop ....but this thing is really heavy ...really is a desktop replacement more than somthing you'd want to carry atound all the time.
@philosophicalphil Heh, speak for yourself :P I carry around my 17" HP laptop everywhere and it weighs about 8lbs, I wouldn't mind it being 10lbs for a bigger laptop with a touch screen. My laptop uses the older backlight technology, so the battery lasts 1 hour max, I wouldn't mind having a larger one that lasts less than an hour, but I know even 18 inch laptops today last over an hour, so it's all good.
sales guy at dell said they have run out and are waiting for more but it may not be the same model, price and could not give me a time scale! seems strange are dell losing money on this I think they are and having taken touch screen off pending review.
That seems ridiculous...but then i suppose they are now seriously head to head with the IPAD. This Laptop is no where near as portable. Maybe if they were to lightnen it or put a swiveling screen on it: who knows
At the moment of writing this Dell seems to have taken off the touch screens. I asked the sales guy and he say they are taking them off the site for the time being I have no idea why as the site is still advertising them!!!!!!! MAD!
yeah funny you should say that i couldn't find them when i was looking for somone earlier if you type touch screen all you get is the lattitude or a link to the studio 17 without touchscreen ...maybe not big enough sales makes these things worth more in the future though i guess
I love joke comments like this, I will presume it's a joke to save you the embarassment caused by everyone reading this actually thinking you didn't realise the 17 (meaning 17inch), that is after the word studio (the design). Isn't the correct model type for this laptop ...yes 1749 is the manafacturers code but you already knew this, & I of course have no need to tell you 'Dell Studio 17 Touchscreen' was how it was listed on the dell website when launched. Ha Ha Good One ,I love your dry wit. x
if it was a tabelt it would be too big and becuse half of windowsand the rest of programs arn't optimized for multi touch then half the things you would use it as a tablet for would be useless.
just wondering if you can use the multi touch for other application such as photoshop or firefox etc? planning to get this one if that works well or better to get the full hd 1080?
Hello, my Girlfriend wants to order that laptop. But there could be a problem with the touchdisplay because she has long fingernails ( woman style ). Could you say me whether the display works when you touch with findernails too or just with the skin on the fingers ? I would be very thankfull for an answer! Good Video! Greetz
I just ordered the laptop but without a touch screen. I dont like smudges on my screen and i heared the touch pad has the same options like squeze, rotate and enlarge stuff??
Not really it has never not worked and you quickly leanrn what it can and cant handle. Also unlike the ipad or similar you can always just use the touch pad or keyboard
No clue id imagine they think this package is expensive enough .... im sure if you actually phoned through your order they could sort somthing out for you.
Capacative I believe, gaming is great but best to turn off use of the touchscreen though as it is not as easy to click and hold with the screen alone ...that said, you could just not touch the screen ....but it becomes all to tempting after a while.
Depends what you're doing. Small items are difficult to touch or navigate but general uasage and browsing I touch the screen its so much easier and feels more responsive.
The best thing about it is the fact it does have full keyboard with number pad so you dont have to type on screen although a box appears everytime it thinks your going to type

@philosophicalphil I like to do some light to medium gaming. But I think touchscreens are very useful.
Would you recommend going for better graphics on the Dell XPS (Nvidia gt 555m) or should I go for the touchscreen? (Both the same amount of money).
