I'm going to be starting uni soon and I hope to find a new decent touchscreen laptop without having killer specs - just specs that can no problem during work. I don't mind HD screen or battery life, but I have a thing for touchscreens. I don't mind any laptop brands.
I missed out the Dell $699 deal :(
Please help me find a bargain!!!!
that's not a touch screen
Good point
From another post … 4 inches off your ideal.
Teclast X16 Power or Teclast X16 Pro. Basically same specs but Chinese from an established player. X16 Pro is x5 z8500 / 4GB and Power is x7 z8700 / 8GB. Both are 11.6" FHD displays. Pro is US$300 and Power is US$350.
On second thought. This looks even better. 15.6" Acer OLCI38G62 V5-572P-33228G62
Do you think it's good value (sorry I know nothing about laptops) and is there a big difference between Full HD and HD? Thanks
Nah the processor is outdated in that laptop.

Look at the bottom of that page for the Inspiron 5000s. They're 619$ with the latest gen processor (I-6200u) 3 generations newer than the one in the link above.
Was in a similar position to you at the end of 2014.
Did HEAPS of research but ended up getting Acer v7-582p for 679$. No regrets. Not sure what models are currently out but check out acers. Was best bang for buck compared to the other brands.
Had touchscreen, 8gb ram, no optical drive (I wanted it as light as possible for a 15), 4200u processor. Was perfect.
Just make sure you budget 100$ for an ssd
