And models come and go. I see Dell has non-touch models so why not one of those?
Also, check the best sellers on Amazon if you can.

My only quibble is that only HP has a few 17 inch models in the top 80. Not a maker I endorse due to warranty issues.
Try this search.

Hey so I am in the market for a new laptop. I was looking at Dell because I have heard good things. What I really want is something with an SSD and 17 inch display without a touch screen (because I have a touch screen now and I never use it, and I don't wanna pay for it). Is there another brand that is better/has what I'm looking for?
