Hello
I am in need of a laptop/tablet.
I would prefer touchscreen on it, but it does not have to be detachable.
Max i can spend is $800 AUD
I have looked at the Surface 3 64GB SSD and it seems to be a good deal at $698 AUD. Is it worth it, or are there others?
Thanks!

For very light gaming I'd suggest a laptop with Iris graphics. The surface is quite pricey for what you get in terms of hardware so unless you really need the touchscreen and pen functionality then stick to a normal laptop bud! The HP Pavilion 15-ab269sa has a solid i3 which will cope with everything school related and Iris graphics so CSGO and League will play well on this machine. It also has a TB of storage which isn't SSD speed but for what your doing an SSD...

The mentioned laptop is not available, but i found this https://www.jbhifi.com.au/computers-tablets/laptops/acer/acer-aspire-es1-521-650t-15-6-notebook/810142/
Is this a good perfornance/price ratio?

Sorry about that, I live in the UK so I was going off what's available for me. The processor is decent and it has dedicated R4 graphics which aren't anywhere near a desktop graphics cards performance, but for light gaming it is good. It should be able to run CS and League pretty easily, also 4GB of RAM should be enough for what your doing but if you feel you need more you can always open it up and stick a bigger stick in there.
