Dell Home vs. Dell Business laptops

My wife needs to replace her Inspiron E1505 that she has used for her editing work. The E1505 had an antiglare (matte) screen, which is what she needs. Two questions:

Is a matte screen available on any of the current Dell Home laptops (Inspiron, Studio, XPS, etc.) in a 15-inch or 16-inch size? Or only on Vostro and Latitude? (I did call Dell Home sales with this question this morning--the agent insisted that every Dell Home laptop comes with an antiglare screen. I couldn't get very far with her on the question.)

And, do any Dell laptops, from Home or Business, have a more solid-feeling, precise-feeling keyboard and trackpad than the current Inspiron 1545? My wife has tried this model and finds it to be a bit flexy/clacky compared with her E1505-generation Inspiron.

Thanks all.

Your best bet on both counts is the Latitude E-series - the matte screen option is largely gone from consumer-grade notebooks, and the keyboards on the E-series are much better than on the consumer-grade models.

Yes, they do cost a bit more - you get what you pay for.

It's very valuable, Thanks for your instruction!
