At $500, Asus’ VivoBook laptop is the cheapest touchscreen Windows 8 PC on the market.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney)
The ability to touch, tap, swipe and pinch on Windows 8 computers is what makes the new operating system come to life. You can still use Windows 8 without a touchscreen, but that’s kind of like tossing aside the remote, getting up, and repeatedly pushing buttons to change the channel on your TV — it’s an old-fashioned drag.
Yet remarkably few people are actually buying touchscreen computers. Just 5% of Windows 8 laptops sold through Dec. 15 had touchscreens, according to the NPD Group.
