A new, thinner XPS 13 is also coming later this year.

I feel like it doesn't have to be either or? I'd like a touch bar in addition to fn keys. Too bad nobody is making that option.

    I don't see anything wrong with touch bar+proper control keys either. There isn't anything inherently bad about a touch bar in itself.

    But replacing your function keys with a touch bar is a bad idea. It's not standard.

    Sticking to standards plus giving other alternative control methods are fine. Kind of like how Asus implements a numpad into the toucpad. I think it's a gimmick but it doesn't hurt anyone.
