Yes, the Dell XT and the HP touchsmart are using the same hardware, ntrig digitizer. Screen protectors work perfectly on these, and I would highly recommend them to prevent you scratching your screen with the pen.
I use photodon screen protectors on mine, and friends and co-workers with this laptop also have taken to using them after my recommendations. Tried a few others to see how they worked and noticed some of the cheaper ones off ebay and such tend to start peeling at the edges slightly after a couple weeks of use. The photodon one has stayed where placed perfectly.
Very easy to install and remove if need be, durable and thin. It does not interfere with detection of finger touches or pen functionality at all.
The company overall seems great and is very responsive to questions or concerns
