But, if you happen to chance upon a deal where the seller is offering a touchscreen machine for a few grand lesser but does not have Windows 8 preloaded on the device for some reason, stay away. It is generally assumed, and correctly so, that a touchscreen laptop will come preloaded with Windows 8. Or maybe, some of you actually find a touchscreen on a laptop useful.īefore you do embark on making that big purchase, there are certain things that you should ideally keep in mind, and be wary about. Maybe it is something psychological at play here, of getting that little bit extra for the money you have spent. However, clearly, the consumers are rather chuffed at the idea of having a touchscreen on their laptop.
We believe it is pointless, unless it is a machine like a Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga, that has the flexibility of letting you use it the way you want to. If you are a regular here, you already know we are not huge fans of a touchscreen on a conventional laptop.
