My next PC

Good idea. I can live with a 256 GB HD. I usually store big files on an external HD. I agree about the touchscreen. Don't want one at all. I will see where I can put my hands on a demo.

When Windows 10 is available, I'm getting it. Final.

I've spent a couple of days this week giving some Surface Pro 3 tablets a blast, great machines but I wouldn't recommend one because of the price (but screen is amazing). I'm here to say that you shouldn't dismiss touch screens completely, when I went back to my laptop I found myself occasionally trying to touch the screen because it really was so much more convenient.

I hear you. I like touch screens on my phone and Kindle, but that's because they really aren't suited for a mouse. I do a lot of copy/pasting, it is a lot easier with a mouse.

Now Dell has a 15 inch version....oh, what to do? Go for max portability? Or bigger screen?

I/m making my choice: as soon as they release this, I'm getting one. As long as they make a non-touch model.
