Touch Screen Laptop

[Awesum]

Can someone reccomend a good Full HD touch screen laptop? I read most laptop threads and cant make up my mind.
Min specs:
At least core i5 (preferably Haswell)
1080p display
More than 1 drive bay to add SSD
1GB graphics
8GB Ram
Usb 3

It will mostly be used for MS office suite and a little photoshop.

Budget around R10K. Might be able to stretch it a little if need be.

Must have a good warranty and last me at least 5 years.

Um... Your budget might be a bit low for what you're looking for?

 

[Awesum]

So how much would I need for what I want?

Thanks for all the links. They definitely not cheap.
Maybe I should consider a macbook? No touch screen though.

Get the Acer V5 touch screen, I have one, amazing laptop, the i5 model around R10k the i7 around R12k, not FHD, these start around R15k

If your issue is with word and excel why would you want an i5?

Why not get one of those iPad keyboards in that case?

Seems more efficient IMO.

Asus also does some, below are specs for a couple, i think the CJ109H is replacing the CJO55H. The latter goes for around R 8 300

i5 for photoshop. Also the office apps are that good, even with a keyboard.

Thanks.
This looks good. Why are HD screens so much more expensive?

 

[Awesum]

Which is better? The Asus or the Acer?

Any luck deciding on your laptop yet?
I have an asus Taichi that I absolutely love.
There is this site http://touchscreenlaptopsite.co.uk that hasa comparison table that is useful for seeing different touch screen laptops side by side.
Hop this helps!
