    Hi, I have an Acer V5-171 and am wondering if anyone has ever swapped out the LCD for a touch one?

    On Acer's site they used to show (may still) a version of the V5 11.6" with touch and this has me wondering if I can give this worthy little thing a makeover for around 50 or 60-bucks.

    Thanks

    You can give it a try as long as you have the touch screen and the knowledge on how to replace the original screen. If a touch screen version is available for your laptop then it can be changed.Where did you see the touch screens for 50-60 bucks? I though they may be a little more expensive but go ahead if you can get it.
