Touch Screen Laptops, Guide To Choose
I researched the best touch screen laptops for the past few days because I need one for work, casual use, and some light creative tasks. I read reviews on The New York Times Wirecutter, Consumer Reports, and CNET, and these two are consistently rated among the best:
Dell Inspiron 16 Touchscreen Business Laptop
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-Touchscreen-Business-Laptop/dp/B0FCM2N8VN?th=1
Dell Inspiron 15 3535 Touchscreen Laptop for Business
https://www.amazon.com/Dell-Inspiron-3535-Touchscreen-Laptop/dp/B0F8NDDDBG?th=1
However, I’m having trouble deciding which one would best suit my needs. I mostly use it for web browsing, video calls, office apps, and occasionally some light photo editing. I also value portability and battery life since I travel a lot.
So which one should I buy? If anyone has personal experience with either of these (or has better recommendations), I’d really appreciate your advice!
Thanks in advance!

The 3535 is an entry level model; the 16" is a mid-range model with a fuller feature set.
The 15" model comes in a couple of versions -- if you need a docking station, do not buy the plastic chassis model as it does not support video over USB. The 16" model should.
Neither of these is going to be a battery-life champion, and neither is a size and weight champion. For that you'll need to step up to an XPS model.
As for build quality and longevity, the Latitude series is a far better choice.
