First thing maybe is the battery life - I am pretty sure I was pushing 6-8 hours on the ACER,.. but last night this Dell was showing 2-3 hours on battery..
faster processor now? more RAM? lower capacity battery in the Dell?
All good questions... and I'll have to compare them.

The last question for you all… I'm going to get a Dell XPS 9360, but I cannot decide between regolar FHQ and touch QHD screen…
FHD
- more battery life
- more compatibility with standard Linux GUI
- little cheaper, little lighter
QHD
- more brightness
- a lot more pixel
- touch capability

Are you going for mobility or what?
Unless you REALLY plan on using the touch screen a lot... I'd go for battery life.

I consider those things really a personal preference.
I'm not sure what makes a lower resolution display more compatibility with standard Linux GUI it's just a resolution. I suppose you could mean - it has the same scaling problem that Microsoft Windows has with high resolution screens (they are a bit better, but really only a bit).
You've nailed it with the list of differences, you have to decide for yourself what is important, that's not something can decide for you.
