Best Touchscreen Laptop 2024: All the best touchscreen PCs we’ve reviewed

Lenovo has been championing the touchscreen for years now, so it’s no surprise to see that it currently offers the best touchscreen laptop you can buy: the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16.

The 16-inch touchscreen is fantastic, and looks great too thanks to the Mini LED screen technology that can be cranked up to a searing 1048-nits brightness with HDR activated. That’s roughly 3x brighter than your average laptop. You even get a 165Hz refresh rate here, ensuring scrolling feels smooth and slick.

We were really impressed with the performance on offer here too, with the CPU speeds not too far away from matching the MacBook Pro (M2 Pro) laptop in our benchmark tests. Thanks to the inclusion of a discrete RTX 4070 GPU, this laptop is also capable of graphics-intensive workloads such as gaming and video editing, making it a versatile beast.

Weighing just over 2kg , this is a rather hefty laptop, but that’s to be expected with a laptop with this level of specs. So if you want a touchscreen laptop with creative chops, our top recommendation is the Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i 16.

Why settle for one touchscreen when you can have two? That’s the key feature of Asus Zenbook Duo (2024), opening up a number of possibilities to make this a wickedly versatile PC.

A built-in kickstand allows you to either stack these screens vertically or horizontally, while simple taps and swipes on the screen allows you to easily move each browser and app into the perfect alignment. The bundled Bluetooth keyboard can either be sat on your desk in front of the laptop, or can rest on top of the second screen to take the form of a classic clamshell laptop.

The Zenbook Duo excels in other areas too, with the Intel Core Ultra proving to be a speedy chip, while the OLED technology behind the screens ensures a colourful and vibrant picture. There’s no discrete GPU here though, so this is more of a productivity device than one suited to creators.

You will need to pay a premium for the Asus Zenbook Duo due to the secondary touchscreen, but if you feel that it will help to boost your productivity, then it should be worth every penny.

Anyone who’s looking for a reliable touchscreen laptop that runs on ChromeOS will want to take a look at the Acer Chromebook Spin 514 (2022). One of the biggest advantages of using a Chromebook is that they run on a very simple UI and come with access to the Google Play Store, giving you access to the majority of Android apps out there.

The Chromebook Spin 514 is not the most powerful laptop in the world, but it does offer a decent grunt for a Chromebook. Our model came with an Intel Core i3-1110G4 processor and it proved nippy enough for the lighter demands of ChromeOS. The 8GB of RAM it comes with allowed our reviewer to open up a shed-load of Chrome tabs without anything faltering. While it won’t be able to sustain the same amount of apps and tabs as most Windows devices, it will be able to serve you through day-to-day productivity tasks.

Our battery benchmarks showed that the Chromebook Spin 514 could last 10 hours and 11 minutes, which will be able to last you through the workday if you happen to forget your charger. The 1.37kg weight is a little heftier than you may expect for a Chromebook, but our reviewer was still able to throw it into a backpack and take it out on the go.

The screen sits at 14 inches and packs a Full HD (1920×1080) resolution, which proved to be a great choice for day-to-day browsing and watching media content. The touchscreen combined with the 2-in-1 design means that you can use the Chromebook Spin 514 like a makeshift tablet.

Our reviewer claimed that this is one of the best Chromebooks they’ve tested in the last few years. It boasts a very sleek design and the processor is powerful enough for day-to-day productivity tasks, and comes with a very reasonable £497 asking price.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 has a fairly unique design, allowing you to pull the screen forward at a diagonal angle so it leans over the keyboard. This makes it easier to sketch and doodle on the touchscreen – although it’s worth bearing in mind that the Surface Pen stylus is sold separately.

You can also fold the keyboard down flat atop of the keyboard, taking the form of a tablet. However, with a weight of 1.89kg, this is no iPad replacement, as its best off thought as a Wacom-esque graphics tablet substitute instead.

The combo of an Intel Core i7-13700H processor and Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 GPU make it a competent performer, but our benchmarks show that the likes of the MacBook Pro offer a lot more power. The Studio 2 should be good for basic creative tasks such as making sketches, but it can’t be pushed too hard.

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2 has a lot of drawbacks, such as a limited performance, loud fans and lack of an OLED screen. But if you really love the unique design, and are craving a touchscreen, then this laptop is still worth considering.
