    Looking for a decent touchscreen laptop. Toss up between a Dell & HP. Just don't know (even now) about what's good or not in the under $500 price range. Do i need a touchscreen type or not? who knows. I don't game on them so no need for a graphics card type

    We picked up HP 15" laptop last spring for approx $350. Intel Core i5 1.8Ghz, 4GB ram. Mrs bo doesn't use touch screen but I use it alot. Not a hotrod but does what we need.

    Sounds like you are looking for something like a Microsoft Surface. You can use it as a small laptop or remove the screen and use it as a tablet. Great for people that travel a lot or mostly use their laptops for personal use as in surf the web and use email, though it is a fully capable laptop and can run any program that any other computer can run.

    My problem with the Surface kickstand designs is that they're not 'lap-able'. There are advantages to the clamshell design if you don't need the dedicated tablet configuration.

    I have a Dell Inspiron 2-in-1 convertible and I don't use the touchscreen for much more than doing jigsaw puzzles as I'm shutting down for the evening.

    I would get something with an i5 CPU at a minimum. The i3 CPUs are real dogs.

    I wish technology solved people issues. It seems to just reveal them.

    HP has some really nice deals today. I don't need a computer but was considering a laptop and new printer just because the deals are good. I'm a good consumer. Not good enough to leave the house on BF, though.
