You may have avoided buying a touch screen laptop because they were more expensive than their regular-screened cousins. But even if you don't see the need for the touch screen, you can probably save a bit of money by buying one anyway.
DealNews reports that touch screen laptops of all sizes are not only 45-62% cheaper than they were at this time last year, but they also have dropped to a lower price point than non-touch laptops.
Although they were $100 pricier than their non-touch counterparts at the start of 2013, today touchscreen laptop deals are actually $41 cheaper than traditional systems. (We specifically compared them to 15.6" Ivy Bridge Core i5-based laptops.) Throughout the previous year, the price gap between the two quickly shrunk and during Black Friday both types of laptops fell to $379. However, post-Black Friday deals show that 15" touchscreen laptops have rebounded to $400, whereas non-touch 15" laptops spiked a tad higher to $441. So far in January touchscreen laptop deals have kept their $41 advantage.So even if you're not interested the touch screen itself, you may as well consider one the next time you go laptop shopping. You can save a few bucks for a similarly-outfitted system and have that touch screen around should it become useful to you in the future. Hit up the post at DealNews to learn more.
