Hi, I really want a touch screen because I won't be buying top spec laptop again & want it to last. Touchscreen, albeit doesn't intefere with games, but I actually find after using my tablet I go to my laptop screen at times to scroll enlarge etc!
I edit videos/photos/music & make them into dvd's (I don't play games), anything other than my hobby is just browsing/learning. I do want to be able to deal with RAW etc. Anyhow, I don't think pc specialists are going to be doing touch screen in the next 6 mths. As I've been 'researching' for over a year , it's time to go for it!
So....would a 512SSD (unable to find if it's nan etc), with i7 3.... (dual core), with 8 or poss 12gb RAM (£70 extra), blu ray writer (can't find out the speed), & a Nvidia...2gb card, be good for what I want & propose to do?
I would obviously want the highest spec available-Haswell, quad core etc, but....
I truly don't think at my age I will be wanting to do more than what I feel, and I will be buying the new applications (Nero etc) when they can take advantage of win 8.
I don't know anyone to ask in forums - the Sony Vaio forum was to no avail! & even tho' my age & gender, peeps 30yrs younger always ask me to sort their pc probs out
I will appreciate any imput. I will pay up tp £1,600, but I do want a touch screen.
Thankyou, & apologies pc specialist! Brill advert & I always recommend you & the peeps on the forum. I've learned a great deal from reading all the threads/answers along with 'academic' research over the last 18mths.
Just don't mention Gingerbread/icecream or jelly bean ha ha x
