There is no touch screen on this one. Being that the lap top is already 5 years old it still compares to the latest intel tenth or 11 gen i5 models at about the same cost as a 15 inch model. My son just bought one and we compared specs useing cinebench r15 to test them the only draw back I see is the age. Battery life depends on the performance level when it is on high battery lasts a few hours and when you use the battery saver level hours  using computer normally not playing a game or streaming. The one main reason I bought this was for it's durability and that's it.  I gave my second hand m6400 to my son and he gave it to his kids and it's still works. It's at least 12 years old. Your lucky these days if you can get one to last a year.
