@shangari.jasdeep21, the rest of the XPS 15s on Dell's product page didn't have a touchscreen, only this one, but its the most expensive at $1649.99 USD: Dell XPS 15-9550

Here you can get a 512 GB SSD, 16 GB RAM an a 6700HQ at $2050

I'm currently in the market to buy a new windows 10 laptop. I want touch screen laptop. 4k is not a requirement for me but the problem is most laptop has touch screen only with 4k and not FHD. I will be purchasing a new laptop by the end of January 2017. I want this to be a investment so, I'm kind of confused right now. I will be using it for my college, and will be travelling with it too. So, I'm considering dell xps 15, razer blade( can be a choice but it only has 14'' screen ). I want a 15.6'' one atleast with good customer service. Dell has good customer service as I have been there customer for quite a long time, I know about them so, can't decide whether to check some other company or not. I'm basically waiting for kaby lake 7th gen quad core processors to launch. They will launch around the end of Decemeber with new laptops coming in January. I'm purchasing a new laptop that is why I want the best thing available even if I have to wait some time for kaby laks laptops. What kind of suggestions do you have for me ?

Why? 

 

For some people it makes life easier and it suits their "style" of working. It's convenient for many things, especially if you're on the go.

@shangari.jasdeep21, go with the Dell XPS 15, although to me, with that price tag you could build a very, very high end PC. :)

6th gen or 7th gen kaby lake won't make a difference or will it ? As I'm gonna buy this laptop anyways its better to wait until the end of January and buy it. Anyways, I'm gonna buy it during the end of January only.

Not a noticeable difference no. If you can get it with Kaby Lake then sure, why not, but it's not something that will make a huge difference.

I heard it will make difference in 4k performance plus battery. Plus getting the best thing available is always a good idea.
