My old laptop broke yesterday and I wanted to get a Windows 8 one so I could dual boot it with Manjaro Linux. I noticed that this one was $150 off and it was a touchscreen laptop. Is this one worth the price it's at?

But then again, not so great to be a gaming computer.

Well, the CPU isn't that great unless it's like quad or six core, but it's ok for the price.

If you're OK with 2gb RAM and 320GB hard drive, then you're fine. Though you won't be able to play very good games on it.
It'll be fine if you're just using it for school work and browsing the web.

No. But if that's your budget, that's probably as good as it gets.

i don't want it for gaming. I just want to make sure that the CPU can handle Windows 8 without lagging.

Exactly why I want it. I use my dad's computer for games.

If it doesn't have enough ram then I'll add swap.

Oh then it'll do fine.

But if you wanted a sorta gaming laptop, I would recommend this http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834231083
