Touchscreen is a gimmick for any >10" laptop screen. Also you won't get a good enough config for the price.

So, if you want a touchscreen, get a hybrid (tablet with keyboard dock). Unfortunately, these will lack processing power compared to laptops.

Who told you that? :lol:

My E5-511 gives >8 hours easily.

And IMO touch screen should reduce the battery backup because well the display acts as an input device too
