This laptop doesn't have a touchscreen (and I didn't want one). It is refurbished and it was refurbished by a Mircrosoft approved facility so I have lots of confidence in it. It is nice and lightweight. I've networked it to my desktop computer and it performs well. It holds a charge for a long time. It charges quickly when you need to charge it. The keyboard and touchpad are both comfortable. Overall, I think I got a great deal on this and look forward to years of use!
