    For that price point your only choice is Windows and new laptops today ship with Windows 8 (8.1 is downloadable as upgrade).

    Note Windows 8 is designed to work best with touchscreens but still works with mouse etc. Also it is possible to still access the 'Desktop' (looks/works like Win7)


    You mention requirement support (play) CDs so you will need a machine with a DVD player built in (fewer and fewer laptops come with DVD/CD players) or you could by a seperate DVD/CD play and connect to laptop using USB cable.

    You're probably best to visit to PC World and see their range of budget touch screen laptops. Get the sales assistant to demo with you.

    You can view some of their range here..
