Do you think you need a touch screen feature in your laptop? Some of the laptops designed for Win8 takes advantage of the new "Metro" touch screen interface but many software and applications still have not yet migrated to the new layout and will go back to the standard desktop if you launch them in Win8 Metro.

Aside from a touchscreen laptop, there are tablet/laptop convertibles. These devices can transform into a tablet or laptop layout by either folding, sliding, detaching or rotating their chassis into the preferred configuration.
