Help to pick-out a new windows 8 touch screen laptop

I Don't need to most expensive or the cheapest. I guess I want the most bang for my buck. I am not up-to-date on my PCs so I need your help. Just reply with your thoughts and ideas. I've always had Hp but it has been 3 years since I have bought a new laptop. I have a few android tablets but no new laptop. The main one I use now is a 64 bit windows 7 with 2.2GHz duel core 17" screen and 4gb ram. It still works just fine but I'm thinking about a faster PC and want the touch screen like my tablets. No resistive touch screens if they even make them anymore.
Looking for the following
windows 8
touch screen
i7 or same in amd
8 gb or more ram
not sure about the rest
Please give me your opinion or advice. if you could buy anything at best buy, which ones and why? PS I game on the PS3 (soon on the PS4) but not on the PC and I don't like lag or buffering in any way.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

hmmm, from what you are telling me, I would suggest this laptop:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Asus+-+15.6%22+Touch-Screen+Laptop+-+8GB+Memory+-+750GB+Hard+Drive+-+Bla...
I would suggest because I am an asus fan myself, I have always used them as my go to manufacturer with my motherboards on any custom built PC i put together. They are a very reputable name, and are very well made. It should meet all your needs, has 750 GBs of hard drive space (gives you enough room for all the HD pictures and videos!) as well as plenty of ram and an i7 Processor. The ONLY thing i see that might be slightly better is a couple of the sony vaios have solid state drives, and that is a nice plus. Faster boot times, faster read/write speeds. But as you said you didn't want something to make you spend more if it was not a big difference and while it would be a difference, I don't see it being THAT big of a difference for yourself. If you can find a local best buy that has that Asus, I would suggest going in to check it out if its on display. Get a feel for it and see if you like the keyboard. That is a big MUST on buying a laptop, making sure you like the keyboard!
I hope this helped! post any other questions if you like!
Even though I work for best buy, my posts and thoughts are that of my own and do NOT represent best buy in ANY WAY.

So my phone got wet the other day. I dried it out completely, but the touch screen still isn't working. Is there anything I can do short of getting a new phone? Anything that can be done at the nearest Verizon store? I am one of three phones on our plan and I am trying not to need to get a new phone before our contract expires next month.

Hello wetphone!
We're sorry to hear that your phone isn't working. It's very important to have a functioning touchscreen! Let's explore your options OK? If the phone is taken to a store, troubleshooting can indeed be done. The store representative can even contact us while you're there. Do you have insurance on the device? Or, do you maybe have a prior vzw device that can be activated until the upgrade is available? You can also check your My Verizon account to see if your line( or another line on the account) is eligible for an upgrade. VZW always has options for you.
Thank You,

Installation problem with CS5.5 on my new Windows 8.1 laptop

I downloaded CS 5.5 Design Premium to my new Windows 8.1 laptop. When launching the Set-up.exe file I get the error message "Installer Failed to Initialize. One or more files could be missing." I downloaded the Adobe Support diagnostic tool but it did not help. I think the new IE version could have disabled or blocked some files? Please help.

I'm having the same issue as BioTrak - I'm also not sure if I downloaded from the correct option, as it looked different from a previous download. But when I try to install, it says the same error message, and the Adobe Support tool does not provide a solution.
I know that doesn't answer your question, but yeah... this is what the file looks like, and I try to open the setup file.

I have set up iTunes Match on only 3 devices (my Windows 7 desktop and 2 iPhones) and am now trying to authorise my new Windows 8 (Toshiba) laptop but I keep failing to authorise the laptop using my one-and-only Apple ID. Does anyone have advice to solve this problem?!

Hi all. I can’t tell you how to solve your iCloud 3.x issues. Heck, I don’t think they’re even solvable.
But if you had a previous version of iCloud that was working correctly then I can definitely tell you how to solve the “iCloud Photo Stream is not syncing correctly to my Windows 7 PC” problem. …without even a re-boot.
Log out of iCloud 3.0 and uninstall it.
Open My Computer and then open your C:\ drive. Go to Tools/Folder Options and click on the View tab. Select the “Show hidden…” radio button and click on OK.
Open the Users folder.
Open your user folder
Open ProgramData (previously hidden folder)
Open the Apple folder – not the Apple Computer folder.
Open the Installer Cache folder
In Details view sort on Name
Open the folder for the newest entry for iCloud Control Panel 2.x – probably 2.1.2.8 dated 4/25/2013
Right click on iCloud64.msi and select Install.
When finished, the synching between iCloud and your PC will be back to working perfectly as before the 3.0 fiasco. The pictures will be synched to the same Photostream folder as before the “upgrade”. Now all you need to do is wait until Apple/Microsoft get this thing fixed and working before you try the 3.x upgrade again.
I think the iCloud 3.0 software was written by the same folks who wrote healthcare.gov with the main difference being that healthcare.gov might eventually be made to work.
For those of you who hate to go backwards, think of it as attacking to the rear. Which would you rather have, the frustration of no synching or everything working on an older version?
Good luck…

How do I install iTunes on my new Windows 8 Acer laptop? Nothing seems to be working

How do I get iTunes to install on my new Windows 8 Acer laptop? Nothing seems to be working.

Yes, you can use the staller CD that came with your iPod. It should have all the iPod Updater and iTunes software needed for your iPod and your new computer.
Also, if you don't have the CD available or you want a different way, you can install iTunes 6.0.5 from Apple's website. See this link for installation:
Download iTunes 6
Also, you'll need the iPod Updater software (as I previously mentioned). You can download this from Apple's website on here as well:
iPod Updater
iPod Software
I hope this info solves the issue,

If any post helps or solves your issue, please mark it that way accordingly. Thank you for helping the boards!

My new ipod touch screen- how to I keep it on 24/7?

My new ipod touch screen- how to I keep it on 24/7?
I cannot remember or find the setting that keeps my new ipod touch screen on all the time...until I want to shut it off. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Thanks, I set it that way in the beginning (when I bought it.) to that. I just checked again, at your suggestion and it IS set up in that manner.
Its weird, right now it has been on screen without shutting off for an hour. However, when I first turned it on I did the slide to open, entered my 4 digit code and before I knew it it had closed the screen (shutting off).

Windows Touch Screen Stylus Pen use for Photoshop

I was have Windows touch screen and I want to use a styles pen. However, when I try to use the pen it will not draw, but just move the picture around. How can I fix this? Thank you

[Apologies for the multiple versions, but I also raised this issue in another part of the forum where there's an active Helix discussion, so there's another conversation happening in the thread "When is the Helix release date?", around page 59]
For those experiencing this problem, I'm becoming convinced that it's mostly going to occur in OneNote. Here is a "solution" I'm testing; it's not a proper fix but it works.
OneNote has the ability to automatically detect whether or not you're using your finger to pan, your pen nib to write, or your pen eraser (if you have one) to erase. It's controlled by a setting under File-Options, Advanced. Look for the Pen settings. You'll see "Automatically switch between inking, selecting, typing and panning." It's checked by default. If you uncheck it, then your eraser won't work anymore, and you have to manually switch between inking, erasing and panning; to make this easy I dropped those icons into my quick access bar.
I think this is a Helix problem, not a OneNote problem. On my Dell Latitude 10 tablet, I do not have this problem. There's something about the Helix sensors and/or drivers that isn't working quite right, so it can't consistently figure out what's up with the pen, and it gets stuck.

Tab click unexpectedly pops out to new window

When I click on a tab, every so often (maybe 2-3 times a session), it will unexpectedly pop out to a new window. This occurrence is not like the purposeful downward click to immediately open a new window with the tab, but it is very delayed. In fact when this happens, my mouse pointer instantly jumps to the bottom right of the screen and if I don't move the mouse, the window doesn't open. But, after I move my mouse for a second or two, the tab pops out to the new window. Seems really strange, and can't find an answer anywhere.

Hello,

Want HTML Help Link to Open in New Window

Using TCS V1.3 with the latest patches.
Single source project from FM to RH -- output to HTML Help.
I'd like certain links in the HTML Help to open into a separate window. Is there a way to set this up from FM? Apparently, WebWorks has a setting to accomplish this task - I don't see a similar setting in RH.

Hi there
I don't believe either of these is may be possible with a simple tweak you perform in the Frame source. Then again, the extent of my Frame knowledge is totally laid out with this:
Everything I know about Frame.
Click Start > Programs > Framemaker.
The Framemaker application may open.
Something happens after that, but I can't be certain.
Cheers... Rick

After installing CS4 Master Suite on new Windows 7 X64 laptop, Premier Pro new projects window will not accept input.

I'm migrating my CS4 Master Suite to a new computer. The new system is a Dell M3800 running Windows 7 x64. Install goes fine except for a failure on Flash install. Once install is complete Premier Pro won't accept any input on the New Projects window. You can click on the file name field and change it but that's about it. No buttons will function. If you change the name and leave the field you can not change it again. No further input is accepted and the actual change you made isn't applied. You can exit out of the window with the X. You can also go to an existing project no problem. All other applications seem to be working fine.
Tried uninstall and cleanup and reinstall. Problem does not change. Made sure anti-virus and firewall were disabled before install. No other applications are running during install.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
