Getting a laptop with discrete graphics and touchscreen

[defnull]

What's the best option? Was thinking of Yoga 720 but no discrete graphics.

i think my budget <2.5k ....... Yoga 720 is around $1860.

Saw 1 Asus with touchscreen today, using the new quadcore processor. Cant rem got discrete graphics or not.... anyone happens to know the model? About $2.5k

Thinking whether or not to spend so much on a laptop..... a bit xim tia

You want a decent touchscreen dgpu laptop, be prepared to pay through your nose for one in SG LOL.

Off the top of my head, the good ones are:
1) XPS 15(1050 ti, 2.8k) but can buy for 2.5-6k usually 2nd hand
2) Razer Blade(1060, 3k)
3) Asus 550(1050 ti, 2.9k)


There are a few lesser known older 960m-970m or lower grade dGPU laptops from mainstream brands that do offer touchscreen but alot harder to find.

Besides, touchscreen on a laptop is quite useless frankly. Just a cheap thrills feature that allows companies to charge extra. Just spend 1.8k+ and get a good gaming-grade 1060 laptop. The touchscreen really worth that much to you? lol

lenovo 720 is currently 2.8k with a shitty 1050(not ti) gpu. But then again, if your main purpose isnt to game and for productivity i guess it fits? But be warned, lenovo build quality is terrible. And you might as well go for a surface pro(no dgpu) in that case.
