I have seen on other websites that this laptop has a touch screen. Is it true and if so can it be disabled? (I am not a fan of touchscreens)

The unit I purchased does not have touch screen. I think there are two version of this laptop one with touch screen and other without.

I just bought this laptop. It does not have a touchscreen. That is why I bought it. I am not a fan either. Great laptop. I love it.

This model does not have a touch screen. I purchased it for that reason. There is a touch screen version, but this is not it.

The one I received does not have a touch screen. I read the same thing, and I believe the touch screen was originally intended for this model, but ultimately not included.

You would have to buy the DB-72T for a touchscreen. This laptop is the DB-71 which is non-touch with a matte screen

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

No, it is not a touch screen. It runs windows 8 which was made for touch screens, the laptop is great but windows 8 is terrible. If you buy this laptop load up a different operating system, I run Ubuntu and it works great.

It has an LCD screen without touch screen. For me it makes no sense to have a touch screen for what I do, I use a wireless mouse and I am good to go. I am very happy with the laptop.

No, this one is not touch screen. There are other similar models that are, but not this (and honestly I could not find any with this configuration that is also touch)

No it is not a touchscreen. But key pad reflexes are so friendly that you really don't need touchscreen feature

On mine, the touch screen can be disabled so that it operates with a mouse. I use a wireless mouse rather than the touch screen.

Mine is a touchscreen! I read that review too. It must have been sorted improperly. I love the touchscreen interface, tho it does take some getting used to and I still prefer the mouse most of the time. But it really is handy

No. This computer does NOT have a touch screen; however, the mousing surface works quite well. I prefer a real mouse for use with this computer. The USB ports are very tight. It's hard to pull out USB drives from the USB ports. There are 4 USB 3.0 ports. The computer is super fast and really quiet. The slowest part of this computer is its 5400 RPM hard drive. Even though this computer has a 17" screen at 1080p, the characters on the screen are quite small....Luckily, I got new glasses recently. I have not tried the Blu-Ray drive, so I cannot comment on that part of the computer....Windows 8 is hard to use, but not impossible.Jose No. This computer does NOT have a touch screen; however, the mousing surface works quite well.

No not this model. I believe they have one very similar to this with touch-screen though. Otherwise, this is a very nice laptop.

No this is not a touch screen. The touch pad I've noticed does seem to be a little buggy, but I rarely noticed it. I typically use a mouse though since I hate touch pads though.

Hi, this notebook does not have the touch screen function. This is something I did not want however if this is a must have for you maybe you should consider another model.

No it isn't touch screen, and while the computer itself is a good value the Windows 8 is a frustration hassle to use. What were they thinking when they released it? Didn't they test it on consumers? Try to find a similar computer with Windows 7.

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

Sorry, no touch screen on this particular model. The mouse pad is touch but that should be obvious.

This model series (V5-571) it is not touch screen because it was released under Windows 7, althought you can upgrade it, it will not be touchscreen either. You will need to search for the new series which runs under Windows 8.
