I know it says "Touch Ultrabook", but is this truly the touch screen model??

Yes, the screen responds to touch. You can type on either the key board or the screen.

No it's not a touch screen. They offer other ones that are touch screen though.

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.

For me the touchpad is smooth and responds nicely. I do pair mine though with a wireless mouse often or I'll use a stylus. Hope this helps! It is a great ultrabook!

No, it is not a touch screen. You could get the Acer C720p if you are looking for a touch screen chromebook.

No, it is not. We are finding out that with the Windows 8, it would be much more user friendly if it were a touch screen. I hope this helps!

Yes, it is a touch screen. It has the right name envy. It is gorgeous and very high tech. Purchased for my dtr who is n college.

no. it also is a bit of a piece of crud. the touch screen also is a press not a touch. it is a good marketing campaign for a bad product. i hope you have found this helpful

I'm pretty sure, but haven't tried to get it set up for touchscreen. This is an awesome computer that i think is definitely a good buy because it is really good for the money and it can be easily upgraded if you need better graphics card or anything else.

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

The touchscreen version has seen a limited release in Europe & South Africa, I think. In the US, it is known as the UX51VZ-US71T. It is exactly the same as the XH71 model, but with a touchscreen. It has only been released to The Microsoft Store, online and supposedly in retail stores, but in ridiculously limited quantities -- it has been shown online as "Out of stock" for at least 3 months now. I have no idea why ASUS is holding back, but it is clear why Microsoft wants exclusive rights to this sleek monster -- it make Windows 8 look great.

i am sorry but it is not touch screen enabled...since before i ordered it, i already knew that. i was checking again the websites but i could not see where it says 'touch screen enabled'. i am not doubting you but...just that the laptop is not 'touch screen'. hope this satisfies your question.

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.

I bought mine with Windows 7 from Amazon. Just look at their website - it will indicate which operating system comes with the ultrabook.

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.
