| 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 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. | You get a decent 14-inch laptop package in the Asus VivoBook, especially given that it has a touch screen, but it doesn't add up to anything particularly impressive that you can't get elsewhere either with better design or for a lower price. |
