To be fair, I have no honest idea where I should post this, so any moderator may move to where they see fit.
I'm very tired of my garbage Toshiba laptop. I'm looking for probably an Asus with touchscreen, and specs for running PC games like minecraft smoothly. I have seen many Asus Vivobooks and such that look like such a great laptop for doing animation on (that's why I want a touchscreen), but I hear for a laptop to run minecraft, you want it to be at least $500. What would you all recommend?
Minimum Requirements: CPU : Intel P4 or its AMD Equivalent (AMD K7) RAM : 2GB GPU : Intel GMA 950 or AMD Equivalent with OpenGL 2.1 Support HDD : At least 100MB for Game Core and Sound Files
Recommended Requirements: CPU : Intel Pentium D or AMD Athlon 64 (K8) 2.6 GHz RAM : 4GB GPU : GeForce 6xxx or ATI Radeon 9xxx and up with OpenGL 2.1 Support (Excluding Integrated Chipsets) HDD : 150MB
Idk, just give me your best opinions. I only want to play and record gameplay, and make animations for youtube, so it HAS to be touchscreen, and it NEEDS to have good specs for gaming. I own minecraft on almost every other system, but nothing compares to the mods and servers available on PC. Portability is a plus.
Clearly neither of you understand that I can draw a person in 10 seconds on paper, but it takes forever dragging with a mouse.
I am NOT using the touchscreen for Minecraft, and I Do Not want a little black pad to draw on. The purpose of touch is for quick drawing and touch based games. I was looking for laptop suggestions, I'm already aware of your "input". Also, I have no interest in building a PC.
Suggestions would be nice, and btw, this laptop supports hdmi output to a tv, so that's a plus.

If you're going to hook it up to a TV anyway, why not just get a desktop and buy a touchscreen monitor? You don't necessarily have to build it, but it would be better/cheaper.

How are you going to draw with a mouse on paper? Anyways there's no need to waste 1000 dollars for casual games and drawing.
To answer everyone's replies,
- I'm not playing angry birds... Of all the games in the world, you name the worst one ever. I'm actually an indie game developer, I can use the touch screen to also test the game without signing and porting it every time.
- I'm not drawing with a mouse and paper... Are you serious? I'm using a touch screen and a stylus.
- I don't want a tower, I want to bring the laptop wherever I go, but I enjoy the option of fullscreen tv hdmi so I can play games with a joystick, or watch videos on it.
- I am not looking to spend $1000 on a laptop, I'm not running a studio lol.
- And last, a Lenovo was my 2nd choice after an Asus, so Revalationist, I deem you the most helpful so far. I appreciate that.
Kevin, that's not a touchscreen. As for budget, I think 300-500 is a good area, and let me make it clear that I DO NOT want a Dell, HP, Toshiba, or anything that is usually garbage. Asus seems to still stand well. I appreciate the feedback.
I'm not? I'm mostly getting replies that aren't actually useful, or aren't laptops/touchscreen/or within budget.
I didn't say a specific Asus, I'm saying it's the highest suggested. I'm not an expert on CPU specs, so suggestions help a lot.
If I had more suggestions of other touchscreen laptops, that would be really helpful.
I'm open to suggestions other than Asus, but based on past experiences with the few I listed against, I was looking for more options.
As long as it's a touchscreen laptop with good enough specs for Minecraft, people can suggest me anything.
Sorry for the misunderstanding. I wasn't looking to come off as stubborn.
• If the laptop I asked about is good, say yes, if not, suggest another. All replies are helpful.

Lenovo beats Asus.. Lenovo makes very good APU's as well as laptops. some of them are touchscreen. I guarantee you that you will find a decent touchscreen laptop from Lenovo....
There's no point in getting a laptop for drawing. Touchscreen laptops use capacitive displays which means you have to use one of those stylus's with a squishy tip. Those are pretty terrible for drawing, since there's no pressure sensitivity and the squishy tip basically makes the stylus drag across the screen. If you want to draw, you should get a Galaxy Note or some other drawing tablet like a Wacom Bamboo. Those would suit your needs much better. Just get a tablet and then find a cheap laptop to play Minecraft on.

They all suck. They just suck differently. Sort of like prostitutes.
I DO NOT want a drawing tablet!! It's like nobody reads the topic... I can't use them, they are too awkward, I've drawn on touchscreens before, and it worked great. There was no lag, nothing was going wrong, it was just like drawing on a DS.
Yes, so I hear Lenovos are great, that's... That's helpful.
BUT, Thank you PCAlex for providing a link. It's a little out of my price range, but I do see some used for $480.
If you reccommend this one well over the other I asked about, then I'll take your word for it. The reviews on amazon are very positive as well.
Capacitive instead of resistive most likely. I saw one at best buy, I mean sure it's never 100% accurate, but at least I can tell where I'm drawing. I used a Wacom bamboo in digital arts class back in highschool, and I spent too long putting the pen at the wrong spot and having to erase the dot or line.
I don't see what's so funny about requesting a touchscreen laptop with specs for gaming.
"Omg guys, this guy want's something different than us, lets mess with him because he's different."
It runs Windows 8, that's basically a tablet OS with a keyboard, but with a basic windows OS on the side.
So what? I want to draw with a stylus and be able to see the drawing under the pen.
So what? I can use the touchscreen to test games my dev team makes for iOS.
So what? I like the option of having a portable system.
I don't see the issue. I'm not a PC gamer whom would sit in their room with the lights off,
trolling and gaming on a desktop all night long. I do digital arts, animation, music, game dev, and I play minecraft.
Is that funny to you all? I guess I'm missing the joke. See my signature pic? That took far too long using *click, drag, click, drag*
I would rather slide a pen on the screen and make a drawing in 1/10 of the time.
So I got tired of using a mouse, don't laugh, help a guy out, damn man. I appreciate the efforts of those who contributed, but when people post just to be a useless a-hole, I really question why I continue to attempt to be social to forums.
Enough ranting, I'm not even actually mad. I'm confused why this is a joke to some of you.
Now may I please get a few more links to recommended systems? Thank you.
Much obliged.

This ASUS-X202E-DB21T looks pretty good at specs, and this youtube video of it seems good.

Touchscreen would actually perform worse at those tasks by far than KB/M.

I mean, this fits the bottom end of what I'd consider a "gaming" laptop, but considering you're just playing Minecraft...

No HDMI, but you can always buy adapters.

Finding the two together in any decent combination is nigh impossible.
