I still need to buy a laptop. I was surfing the Costco web site and they have a few with SSD's. They are all pretty small though. 256 Gig. I'd really like to keep the price under a grand, and I don't see that happening with a larger SSD. I don't think I need a huge hard drive, but I don't know if I want to be locked into 256 Gig. That's kinda small nowadays.....

I am in the midst of taking some math courses, and found a real need to write on the screen with a stylus. So I need to focus on touch screens.

One laptop I am sorta learning towards, is the HP Envy 15t. http://www.costco.com/HP-Envy-15t-Touchscreen-Laptop-%7c-Intel-Core-i7-%7c-1080P-%7c-4GB-Graphics-%7c-Backlit-Keyboard-%7c-Blu-ray-Writer-%7c-Windows-8.1-Professional.product.100214364.html

It has a BR writer, which is something I do not need.

They have this Lenovo Flex that looks kinda cool.... Not sure about the brand though. http://www.costco.com/Lenovo-Flex-3-Series-2-in-1-Touchscreen-Laptop-%7c-Intel-Core-i7-%7c-1080p-%7c-2GB-Graphics-%7c-Backlit-Keyboard.product.100203985.html

These are the two with SSD's....
