People who intend to buy a new Windows 8 laptop will probability looking for one with a touchscreen. Although Microsoft's latest operating system is useable with keyboard-only systems (and the most recent version, Windows 8.1, makes that even easier), a touchscreen could be a definite and. And whereas laptops with touch screens tend to be valuable, there are some entry-level systems that may be had for an affordable worth.
Making compromises
In order to stay the value low, every merchandiser has created some compromises. For example, HP\'s TouchSmart 14z offers one amongst the most recent quad-core AMD processors, however it comes with a conventional 500GB Winchester drive. In distinction, the Asus VivoBook V400CA contains a second-generation Intel Core i3 dual-core processor however beefs it up with a hybrid drive that mixes a 500GB Winchester drive with a 24GB solid-state drive.
Regardless of what the vendors did to stay the costs in restraint, these 2 machines provide lots for to a small degree. This might be simply the beginning for cheap touchscreen systems, though.
What follows are the facts concerning -- and my opinion of -- these 2 low-priced however good-quality touchscreen Windows 8 laptops.
