Want basic but good touch screen laptop. Needs are photos Facebook games internet not much more. Would like both touchscreen and keyboard. Please help a crazy daughter that loves her mother dearly without spending to . Much. I'm thinking around 300 to 350$ give or . Take.

Theres several choices that you can go for.

Theres the HP Pav X11

or if she's open to using android theres the slatebooks

The slatebook is a bit bigger so its easier on the eyes and it is android so its a BIT better built for touch.

Lastly there are the ASUS T100As which go on sale quite a bit

Either of these would be fine, but price being a factor...

Either of these would be fine, but price being a factor you pretty much get stuck with smaller 10/11 inches.

Also does it have to be a laptop? HP actually has decent All-in-One's with touch around the $400 mark which would have a much bigger screen and a mouse/keyboard for other times.
