My daughter would like one for christmas.

Is a touch screen laptop worthwhile or just a gimmick?

Thanks.

Thanks for all replies.

The lenovo yoga 910 looks nice.

I was thinking about a dell.
But the xps is expensive and doesn't fully fold into tablet form.
And the inspiron has so so reviews.
Shame as i wanted the on site warranty.

Tricky.

Possibly a lenovo 720 i7 13 or 15 inch then.
Via John Lewis in tne november black sales.

Though it hurts spending 1000-1200 on electronics that have short warranties that involve sending away to get fixed.
Especially when they typically have a failure rate of over 20%!
