| Bottom line | Considering the total package of features and price, the Acer Aspire M5 feels like a safe bet if you want an all-encompassing
Windows 8 laptop with touch that won't cost a fortune. | For those looking for something more than a feature-light ultrabook, the gamer-friendly Lenovo IdeaPad Y500 is close to brilliant, and several configurations are currently available at a deep discount -- but I can't believe it doesn't have a touch screen. | For under $700, the Acer Aspire V5 proves that a touch screen can work in a budget-priced
Windows 8 laptop without cutting too many corners. | With a great design for the price and some better-than-expected graphics power, the HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15z-b000 Sleekbook may be worth overlooking its shortcomings if you're on a tight budget. |
