I've been looking at laptops for a little while now, and have decidedly fallen in love with touchscreens. I've always hated the mouse on laptops, and this seems like a great solution. Now my problem is this - I'd like to be able to run something like say, Skyrim, at least on medium settings, without spending over $800. I've been looking at the HP Pavilion Touchsmart sleekbooks, specifically models 15-b109 and 15-b150us. They have an AMD A6-4455M "dual-core" processor/ 6 GB DDR3 SDRAM/ AMD Radeon HD 7500G gpu (apu?) and an AMD A8-4555M "quad-core" processor/ 6 GB DDR3 SDRAM/ AMD Radeon HD 7600G gpu, respectively.

I'm sure I could find a better gaming rig if I was willing to give up touchscreen, but I'm not. And I am building a desktop pretty much just for games, anyway. This will be more of a school/internet/roommate is hogging the PS3-type of machine. Does anyone know if either of these could run something like Skyrim on those settings? Would a 2x4 GB RAM set-up help? Or could anyone recommend a touchscreen machine in that price range that could? Thanks!!
