YES! It is a great laptop but I can only use it @ home or take it some place I am guaranteed access to electric. Battery has not worked since beginning. After many hours of charge it still reads low battery & if laptop is unplugged from electric more than 10 minutes it shuts off. This is a pain when you have things on clipboard you are using doze for a few minutes & wake up to find laptop off & clipboard clear. Never heard back from seller about this problem so I guess I am stuck with it until I can save $ to buy a new battery.

No it does not have a touchscreen. Current MSI laptops do not have touchscreen.

The screen is not only touch with Windows 8 and 8.1, but it also has "touch" with Win7.

No, it's not. Although it's a great laptop, you don't get the full Windows 8 experience due to lack of touch screen. I downloaded something called Classic Shell which makes it work just like Windows 7 since I'm not a fan of Win 8 at all.

It is not a touchscreen. I bought it for my son to take to college and he loves it. He is also a "gamer" and is very impressed with this laptop.

No this computer is not touch screen. With Windows 8, if you have other touch screen techy stuff, you might be better of than I am. I am switching to Windows 7 ASAP because the 8 is a totally new route to learn.

I have mine on my HP touch screen Laptop with Windows 8.1 and it works just fine. Works the same with it on just gives you the satisfaction of no finger prints :)

Nothing on the Asus Web site or any vendor Web site has mentioned that this is touch screen, and because of Windows 8 that's a "hot" enough feature that I'm sure it would be stated if it were. Several other Asus notebooks are, though.

No. this is the generation prior to Touch Screen, which came along with Windows 8. This machine came with Windows 7. although Windows 8 could be put on it, the Touch Screen function would not work.

No it's not a touch screen. But it has the windows 8 tiles that makes it look like some of the other touch screens.

No it does not have a touch screen. It is a special edition, some programs from the original Windows are slightlydifferent. But I adore this Ultra Book inspired by Intel - My previous Acer Vista from 2009 now I consider it old""" Was time to update """"

It is Windows 8. As far as I know 8.1 is only available currently as a Beta. Also, I have read that if you install the Beta and have problems, there is no way to uninstall it without wiping the hard drive clean and reloading the entire Gateway load set and also any user software you added. I don't plan to try 8.1 until it is released. Also, go to Microsoft's site and take a look at the improvements in 8.1 Microsoft has mentioned, many of them have to do with Touch and other features that I am not much interested in for a desktop. So I am not holding my breath on 8.1, but I will try it when official, if I don't switch to Windows 7 first.
