I would say, that most folks who want a laptop for photo editing, do not worry about touchscreen too much because if you use it them you have a heck of a job telling your greasy fingerprints from genuine sensor dust marks - just saying.

I didn't link to the machine because of the Touchscreen, but because of the Full HD aspect.
The Touchscreen is just a bonus and likely to be used from time to time, but not all the time.
Only one of the three machines have a Touchscreen.

I agree, however budget is very tight unfortunately.

Your telly at home don't have HDMI?

All you need is a HDMI cable.
Probably a wireless keyboard and mouse.
Sit back at the sofa and do your occasional photo shop.
