The greatest touchscreen laptops provide a straightforward yet really useful method of navigating your computer, allowing you to quickly tap, slide, and scroll through apps, websites, and much more if you have a stylus.
Being able to use a laptop as a portable screen to binge-watch shows like you would on a tablet, a convenient notebook, or a canvas for creative work (even doodling) is something unique. And all of this is accessible with a single touch thanks to a touchscreen.
Since I’ve been testing and reviewing laptops for years, whether they’re Windows PCs, Chromebooks, visually gorgeous OLED displays, or budget-friendly panels, I’ve come to realize how fantastic a touchscreen laptop can be.

1. Microsoft Surface Laptop 7
The change makes all the difference. The Microsoft Surface Laptop 7 is the first Surface Laptop to come with a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip instead of an Intel one.
This seventh generation Surface laptop is fast and has plenty of battery life, whereas previous models were mediocre at best. You can rely on it to last you through a full day of work or school because in our battery test, it lasted almost 16 hours on a full charge.
Additionally, the Surface Laptop 7’s 120Hz touchscreen should make it easy for you to tap and swipe throughout the workday. Both 13-inch and 15-inch sizes are available, and based on our tests, the screen is lovely, bright, and simple to use.
2. Acer Chromebook Spin 714
One of the more potent 2-in-1 Chromebooks available is the Acer Chromebook Spin 714, which is a fantastic option for anyone who would rather tap than type because to its quick touchscreen.
The Spin 714 has one major advantage over the other laptops on this list, despite being less powerful and capable: cost. This fantastic Chromebook that doubles as a tablet is available for less than $800 (or even less than $500 if it’s on sale), and it comes with a free wireless travel mouse and pen that allows you to sketch in addition to tapping and swiping.
Additionally, it has numerous connectors, including a headphone jack for private listening sessions, USB-C and USB-A for connecting devices, and an HDMI out. This is a fantastic deal if you don’t mind having a touchscreen laptop that needs an Internet connection to work properly.
3. Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8
Although it costs a little more than our top pick, the Lenovo Yoga 9i Gen 8 is a high-end 2-in-1 Windows 11 laptop with a beautiful OLED touchscreen. For those who can afford it, the price difference is justified because you get a beautiful OLED screen, an excellent soundbar, and a free stylus.
We still think this is a great laptop that’s simple to tote to work or school, measuring 12.52 x 9.06 x 0.6 inches thick and weighing just over 3 pounds, even though we wish Lenovo hadn’t eliminated the tiny garage you could put the stylus into on previous editions of the 9i.
If you want something a bit more expensive than the Surface Laptop 7, this is the laptop to spend the extra money on. Add in the excellent speakers and the long battery life (the laptop lasted just over 10 hours in our internal battery test).
4. Microsoft Surface Pro 11
Although the Microsoft Surface Pro 11 is a tablet running Windows 11, if you want the complete laptop experience, you can get it with a keyboard cover. With this stylish little tablet, however, you should have no issue tapping and swiping your way through your workday because Windows has become much more navigable through touch in recent years.
The power and durability of the latest Snapdragon X CPUs inside make it better than ever, giving this portable PC the longest battery life of any Surface Pro we’ve ever tested. Additionally, you can now update it with an OLED touchscreen for the first time, which makes using this machine’s tapping and swiping feel incredibly opulent.
Additionally, this tablet’s Snapdragon CPUs provide excellent performance and a long battery life (12 hours in our testing), so you can rely on using this device for at least a day while on the move.
The Surface Pro 11 is our top pick if you’re looking for a fantastic touchscreen tablet that can also function as a laptop if necessary.
5. Lenovo Yoga Book 9i
You need the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i when a laptop’s single touchscreen is insufficient.
This special laptop combines two 13.3-inch OLED touchscreens into one machine, offering you more usable screen real estate right out of the box than almost any other laptop available.
There are numerous ways to use the Yoga Book 9i because of the bundled keyboard and folio kickstand. Spread the two panels side by side for a portable dual-monitor configuration, or flip one over to show someone something in presentation mode.
Although it requires some getting used to, the Lenovo Yoga Book 9i is a surprisingly practical and usable dual-screen laptop after you figure out how to set it up and use the gesture controls on the two touchscreens.
What sort of authority are you looking for? Consider a Chromebook (such as the Acer Chromebook Spin 714) or a less expensive Windows laptop, such as the Surface Pro 11 or Surface Laptop 7, if all you need is a simple device for online browsing. I suggest purchasing a laptop with a separate GPU and additional RAM, such as the Surface Laptop Studio 2, if you want to perform more taxing tasks like playing games or editing videos.
What is your desired laptop size? Think about how frequently you intend to use this laptop. If “not very often” is the response, you can choose whatever that appeals to you without being overly concerned about size and weight.
Consider choosing a smaller, more portable laptop, such as the Surface Pro 11 or Chromebook Spin 714, if you want to often tote this one to work, school, or another location. Because they are slightly lighter and smaller than the other laptops on this list, they won’t be as taxing on your shoulders and back if you have to carry them around all day.
