Is Dell XPS 15 2 in 1 good option for artists?

I use illustrator a lot. I'm planning to buy this one, just because it offers tablet mode touch screen which I guess would be useful for my digital arts.
What do you think?

What's the reason you want to go with Dell over, say, a Surface?

, yes, it is a powerful 2-1 that has only 3 downsides as far I know:
- it lacks legacy ports like usb a
- iirc you cannot replace the RAM / memory etc, only the SSD
- and it is expensive of course

The screen and cpu & gpu performance etc are very good, and the device is very thin but still tough according to reviews.

I'd still go for a Surface Pro, if I had the choice. But perhaps it is due to budget?

Thanks. Not SB because Microsoft doesn't offer global warranty and there's a huge price difference here in India.

Sadly there's a huge price difference on MS products here in Thailand too.

If you can't go for a Surface then yes, as above, a Dell XPS could do the trick.

@thaquiali, what did you get in the end?
