| Bottom line | It's great to see more touch-screen
Windows 8 laptops under $600, but note that the Asus X202E requires some compromises in performance and battery life. | While it's not going to dazzle anyone, the Toshiba Satellite U845T is a great example of exactly how much laptop $799 should buy in 2013. | 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. |
