    The touchscreen model is the default model from Dell store in USA and it's significantly better than the non touch variant. It has higher 300 nits brightness and 100% sRGB color gamut coverage and Dell highlights that in their product page as well. The non-touch variant is a 250 nits 45% NTSC pabel.

    I just received this laptop yesterday and I'm not quite sure your description of the bottom being plastic is correct. It feels like an all aluminum build and Dell's website lists the chassis as "Aluminum exterior shell". Is this something you can double check?

      I don't have it on hand to double-check but when I pulled the bottom cover off, it didn't look like metal. One of the plastic clips broke too and looked like part a molded part. Sounds weird but you can use your teeth to know for sure. It's a very obvious difference and I'm pretty sure I did that with this one.

      Let me know if you find anything contrary and I can update the article.

        I took a closer look and I think your initial assessment of the bottom cover being plastic is correct. It doesn't feel as cool to the touch and the tabs do look like molded parts. Oh and that plastic clip you broke? I broke 3 when opening it to upgrade the wifi card – there's just no way around it.

        Shame that Dell's website didn't clarify part of the chassis being plastic as I wouldn't have bought it then.

      And what about sound experience? I hear some crackling from speakers …

    I am waiting for delivery of my Inspiron 16 with touch screen and expect to be happy with this mid-range budget laptop. I wonder if there is a hotkey combo to temporarily disable the touchpad while using a mouse. Did you come across this feature?
