The tiles are gonna driving you know crazy but if you can afford it. One tip is that you upgrade to the core i3 processor for better performance.

This is one of my favorite one from Lenovo. A super nice touchscreen, with Windows 8 but the really awesome thing about it is, the foldable keyboard which allows you to use it as tablet, prop it up and use it as a touch screen so you can watch movies.
Actually this is an ultra book laptops. So it is a laptop and a tablet and a bit pricier. This is a really nice computer, that comes in many colors. Great for being more stylish than anyone else in college.
