| 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. | The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga 13 is a convertible touch-screen laptop/tablet that most importantly doesn't compromise the traditional laptop experience. | 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. |
