Dell Inspiron 15z
The Dell Inspiron 15z has
a great, slim design for a budget-minded 15-inch touch laptop, and even
includes an optical drive.
But, It's at the top end of the budget category, and for the same money, there are more-upscale systems available. Low screen resolution looks cartoonish.
The bottom line: Dell's Inspiron line continues to look sharper than its budget reputation would suggest. The new touch-enabled version of the 15z works as a reasonably priced Windows 8 laptop with a big screen and an optical drive.

Acer Aspire V5-571P-6499 The Acer Aspire V5 has a decent design, midrange configuration, and a touch screen, all for a very reasonable price.
But, While slim and reasonably attractive, this is still a plastic laptop. The weak battery keeps it from being a great road system.
The bottom line: 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.
