No. It is not a touchscreen. But it does have anti-glare which is really nice.

No, this computer does not have a touch screen. But windows 8.1 makes regular desktop use similar to windows 7 as opposed to windows 8.

No the mouse pad has pinch and zoom to mimic a touch screen effect but the screen itself is not touch

Yes - most applications support the asus smart gesture - which goes further than most other gesture interfaces i've seen. Pinch to zoom on the screen and two finger scrolling on the track pad work great, but there are also 3 finger gestures/gestures from the edge of the screen/track pad that help with navigating windows 8. It's the nicest touch pad I've experienced on a laptop.

None at all. It still does not support gestures for Windows 8. That being said, you get the basics on each. Left click, right click, and touch sensitive scrolling.

Mine is not a touch screen, but I think touch is available as an option. Windows 8 I believe.

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

No, it is not touch screen. That makes the whole windows 8 a little more tricky.

No I haven't seen the need to do so. Windows 8 only gets me touch type stuff and I don't see the need in a non touch screen laptop.

No it's not a touch screen. It's a okay laptop for writing or any small home use. I use it for writing. Hope this was helpful.

not a touch screen, not sure my touchpad is still working great after a year of use.

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.

This computer lacks a touchscreen. But for the price, it's an excellent value if you can live without a touchscreen. To be honest, I have another computer with Windows 8.1 Pro which IS a touchscreen and I often forget that the feature is even there because I am so used to using a keyboard and mouse. I love touchscreens on tablets and other mobile devices. But when it comes to computers, old habits die hard for me. I find the keyboard and trackpad just as effective as a touchscreen (for me anyways).

No, But that way you can decide if you prefer a touch monitor or not, which is an option with Windows 8. There's also the option of dual monitors.

Unfortunately no, it's not a touch screen. A great device overall though. Snappy performance for multi-tasking and a great battery life performance.

I don't think it has a touchscreen, if you mean it's built-in touchpad, it works like a mouse pointer, single touch.

The "touch" part of this monitor requires you to connect the monitor via the supplied USB cable to your computer and you must install the software that comes with this monitor. Once you've done that "touch" will work and it works very, very well for Windows 8. Very impressive.
