How good are touchscreen for games? never had one. I want it to play some low-graphic games on the go. Like Diablo 2, Baldur's gate, &amp; emulators.

Hi R.C.: I bought this for my wife. The touch screen can be very tricky to use. I'm not sure the touch response would be good for games. Ultimately, I returned the unit. Maybe I just don't like Windows 8, at least not yet. Good Luck.

i just noticed they dropped the price to 157, that's a little better. i think it is possibly worth that, i was just irritated that it had dead pixels on arrival. i bought it specifically for emulation as well, and it did that just fine. however, keep in mind the screen is pretty bad. it is not that clear, and the viewing angle from one of the sides was terrible and not equal to the other three, which was odd. i honestly still want one, but am just waiting to see the handheld android market develop more.

I recently buy it, I have Win8 and Win 8.1, I connect it via DVI to HDMI, but the touch does not work in any of the two operating systems, Did I miss something ? Please Hep !!!!

No, this model was not touchscreen. My wife uses it for her graphic design business. While on vacation I was successfully able to play planetside 2 with all the bells and whistles turned on. Very high performance laptop, rivals my home built rig. I would recommend. We have had it for 9 months.

I personally would not recommend it. I would get a cheep android. There are no modern driver for the original slate. It has lots of glitches. Its very heavy and gets very hot. It was at the time when came out. I like windows. But If you are looking for some thing offordable like I said go for tablet you'll like it a lot better.

Its NOT a touchscreen, its a touch pad. If you don't like the pad, you can hook up a USB mouse, or whatever.

It is not like a tablet pc. You can touch screen but the screen it is not as stable as tablet pc or you can't take the screen from the pc. Just think it as regular pc but you can touch the screen. :) For me, it works well, and I like it so far. But i don't know how do u wanna use it for. Best

No, most gaming laptops (except the upcoming Lenovo Y50) dont have touchscreens.

I use it on my touch screen PC and really like it. So many people love to whine about how difficult it is....not really, it is just different and a person needs to learn it. There is a free 8.1 upgrade available through Microsoft to take care of some of the concerns out there. I personally have not noticed a big difference. The way you access a Start screen is a little different and the graphics page allows access to anywhere you want to go, but it is very easy to get to the desktop you are used to. I am still learning all the features.

Definately is a touch screen works awesome too! Definately even cooler if you play games on it as it acts like a smartphone or tablet as far as its touchscreen capabilities.

I tried it. It works...but. It's a beta and not ready for prime-time. Looks like it will be more touch friendly. If your comfortable with loading operating systems, try it for the weekend. You can always go back. I did and I'm not a real tech savvy.

If you like gaming ,it is a very good laptop for you, but you will feel the game is stumble if you don't link the charger. I also play game.Do you know the DOTA2. It is the game that I am playing.

Netbooks are good for basic web surfing or typing, but not for games. I have an Asus 1000He for about 3 months now. I tried many games on it. Most of them run very slowly or don't start at all. I think it can handle games before 2000, but that's about it. You should consider a bigger laptop with a discrete graphic.

LOL! These do amazingly well at games I play may low level games such as the one you mentioned. The frame rate may be limited to less than 20fps in order to enjoy it. Even better if the game will respond to touch input making it will give you the advantage. I keep a SD card in the unit loaded with 100 or more portable apps about 30 or more are games and this unit does well playing from the SD card. There are 2 SD card readers in this unit. This means you memory expansion is almost unlimited.Cheers Robeee

Well, I've been playing Final Fantasy 3 & 4, among other games, on it for a while now. It is a little quirky when it comes to the thumb sticks, and there isn't a true D pad so fighting games will be more difficult to play. Plus the screen could be better like some of the reviewers noted, but it is pretty responsive. If you're a casual gamer such as myself I think you will enjoy it. I do like playing my games on there despite the quirkiness. but if you're a serious hardcore gamer you will find in a bit lacking especially against what's coming out now. The Wikipad looks pretty damn good. As for the tablet part I think it's decent. It runs Jelly Bean smoothly and I haven't had any real problems with it. Its not as bad as some reviewers made it out to be but there are better pads out there now.
