Best 4 Touchscreen Laptops Under Rs. 50000 – Affordable Touch Laptops

Windows 8 is the first real radical redesign of the most widely used operating system in the world. It was met with mixed reviews mainly because of the UI changes that are geared towards touchscreen devices. Yes, you can manage with a mouse, but it’s pretty obvious that this UI would work better with a touchscreen. Once upon a time touchscreen laptops were prohibitively expensive and didn’t really make much sense, but with Windows 8 they’re actually pretty good bets. Now, there are laptops with touchscreens under Rs. 50000! However, you can’t expect blazing fast performance since they’re mainly made for mobility and convenience. So if you want a portable laptop with a touchscreen that lets you use Windows 8 to the fullest without spending a fortune, check out the best 4 touchscreen laptops under Rs. 50000!

Top 4 affordable touchscreen laptops

Asus F202E-CT148H VivoBook

Kicking off the list is the Asus VivoBook, the most compact and light touchscreen laptop on our list. It’s the only 11 inch laptop here and weighing in at just 1.4 kg it’s also the easiest to carry around. As the specs suggest, it’s mainly meant for everyday use and should do if it’s mainly used to browse the internet and use a productivity suite. Power users won’t be impressed with the specs, but the gorgeous looks and solid build quality will definitely warrant a second look. Here’s the full specsheet:

• Processor – Intel Core i3 3217U (1.8 GHz)
• RAM – 4 GB DDR3 (expandable upto 8 GB)
• HDD – 500 GB
• Graphics – Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Integrated)
• Camera – HD Webcam
• Operating System – Windows 8
• Weight – 1.4 kg 
• Price – Rs. 38,233

HP Pavilion 14-B157TU Sleekbook

HP’s SleekBook comes with a larger 14 inch screen compared to the Asus VivoBook but very similar internals. Also meant mainly for everyday use, the SleekBook is quite thin and light, the main reason you’d want to grab this one over the VivoBook is the slightly faster processor, larger screen and larger HDD. Rest of the specs are pretty much the same, here they are:

• Processor – Intel Core i3 3227U (1.9 GHz)
• RAM – 4 GB DDR3 (expandable upto 8 GB)
• HDD – 640 GB
• Graphics – Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Integrated)
• Camera – HD Webcam
• Operating System – Windows 8
• Weight – 2 kg 
• Price – Rs. 39,877

Acer Aspire V5-471P (NX.M3USI.005)

Next up is the Acer Aspire V5, which offers a much more powerful processor and a feature lots of people love, a backlit keyboard. It’s thin, light and looks quite a bit like a MacBook, which is something that might sway some opinions. In terms of specs it’s quite like most normal laptops, save for the fact that it comes with a low power Core i5 processor, which should result in better battery life while sacrificing processing power. Here’s the full specs:

• Processor – Intel Core i5 3337U (1.8 GHz With Turbo Boost Upto 2.7 GHz)
• RAM – 4 GB DDR3 (expandable upto 8 GB)
• HDD – 500 GB
• Graphics – Intel HD Graphics 4000 (Integrated)
• Camera – HD Webcam
• Operating System – Windows 8
• Weight – 2.2 kg 
• Price – Rs. 45,481

HP Pavilion Touchsmart 14-B172TX Sleekbook

Finally, we have another HP Pavilion SleekBook that rounds up our list of the most affordable touchscreen laptops. It’s the priciest among the lot, but offers near laptop specs while still being light and capable of some light gaming as well, courtesy of the 1 GB dedicated Nvidia GeForce graphic card. You’re not going to be able to play games at high, but you should be able to run a couple new games at low at least. Not a bad deal, considering the price and that it has a touchscreen. Here’s the specsheet:

• Processor – Intel Core i5 3337U (1.8 GHz With Turbo Boost Upto 2.7 GHz)
• RAM – 4 GB DDR3 (expandable upto 8 GB)
