I need a laptop with the ac plugin on the right side. Any ideas?

[billberry12]

My wife keeps breaking her plugin from the mother board because it goes into the laptop on the left, and her plugin wall is on her right. Need Windows 8 and touchscreen. I can't seem to find one with it on the right, or at least in the rear.

Please specify your budget and needs. I would reccomend Acer laptops.

HP Envy Laptops. DC Adapter jack is on the right side rear.

But most Acer laptops have the plug at the left side unfortunately.
Edit: Never mind. It was just the ones I first saw that have it on the left side.

Budget $5-6 hundred $. Would like to have an Intel 5, but 3 would work, or an AMD of similar size. Need CD/DVD drive.. 15.6 or larger screen. Touch screen. and Windows 8. Did I miss anything. I will look into the HP Envy. Is that a decent laptop?

The HP's that I've come into contact with (i'm in a computer repair club at my school, so I get to see quite a few laptops) all seem pretty decent, they're a big name for a reason. Usually the problems people have had with them when the bring them in is some sort of software issue, I've only seen one or two come in which had a hardware issue.

The one thing I like about Apple laptops is that they have that magnetic DC (all laptops have a DC jack, not AC) power connector which pretty much eliminates the problem of the broken DC power jack. The only Windows device that I am aware of that has the magnetic connector are the MS Surface tablets. I wonder why more laptop mfrs don't adopt the magnetic connector? I'm sure it has to do with keeping the price down.

@ Billberry,

In my last post, just click on the HP Envy link. The features your looking for are all there. HP Envy is one of their best models. Always, a good idea to purchase an extended warranty.

why not just move to the other side of the room ,lol

Toshibas usually have the plugs on the right. But an easier solution would be to nail or fasten the wire to the desk so that it cannot move about.

Bought her an Acer Aspire today for $448 at WalMart.

Windows is like learning a foreign lanquage. Really different. I am sure it will be great once I can navagate it some.

Any basic tips on eight?

How about what ever table/desk one is sitting at just turn it around where the cord comes from the other direction.

John, the Envy doesn't mention Touch.

Did you buy the exact same model?

During the very, very first days of the Windows 8 pre-releases, I made some basic video tutorial. Maybe you find something useful there.

Hello Rich,

There are a few different models of Envy, some do include "TouchSmart."

Here's one which has the touch screen feature:
