My First question would be what are you using it for ?
To warrant such a high spec ?

Thats a lot of money to throw at a Windows 8 machine !

That little bit that says i7 is where the wonga is.
And the Touch screen.


External storage : Just use drop box / Google Drive wink

Most laptops now run on SSD Drives.
Solid state drive no moving parts = quicker.

Touch Screen Note:
Think about this, most people hate to sit with a laptop and see smudges on there screen, and when they do see them want to clean them, so that's what we do.
Well 5 mins using a touch screen with greasy fingers get your cloth ready as you will always be cleaning it.

USB 3 kicks ass, mega fast.

Ditch the touchscreen.

Solid state drives are really fast too, I have one in my iMac.

You can get more drives fitted if there's room or just upgrade the ones in it.

A high spec laptop now will not necessarily be classed as high spec in 3 years time but buying the best you can afford will usually give you a certain safeguard for 'future proofing'. Touch screens are a matter for the individual, I personally find them very intuitive and have fitted a screen protector film which reduces the appearance of the finger marks. Some laptops have a second bay for additional drives or alternatively you could fit an external drive which could also be a wireless drive accessible to others in your home network but make sure it's password protected.
