My sister is looking for a laptop for school. She has told me that it needs to be 14", have windows 8, has to be thin, and it has to not be "ugly". A touch screen would be nice but is not needed.

 

She does not need much power, as her main use would be for things like typing and watching movies

 

Looking to keep it under $700

 

Thanks

The HP Envy Spectre:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834256353 I have to say that 14 inch is a pretty uncommen screen size, sin 13,3 inch has been the norm, in that size categori atleast, for many years.
