They are.

This is why I think it would've been useful for Alex to tell us what he's
interested in.

If it were me, I'd want the smallest laptop possible so that it's
portable -- 13" or less.  (I like the Asus 10" laptop that I have -- very
easy to carry.)  And, I don't care if it's touchscreen or not, but I know
that Alex's current laptop does have touchscreen.  And, I prefer Linux,
but I know that Alex doesn't.

For example, I'd be perfectly happy with (even though it's super cheap)

 http://www.staples.com/Refurbished-farmerinthedell-Latitude-E4310-13-3-160GB-Hard-Drive-2GB-Memory-Intel-Core-i5-Win-7-Pro/product_317782

but I'd upgrade the memory to the max (8GB).
