Question

Laptop Help?!

Jan 13, 2015 8:20AM PST

I am desperately looking for a new laptop. My main use is school work and occasionally surfing the web. My old laptop gave up on me. =( I found a few. Could somebody help me narrow it down to one? I would really appreciate it. Thank you in advance!

Also, is it better to have TouchScreen with Windows 8? Any thoughts on these?
