Best Touchscreen Laptop Reviews 2020

Laptops can generally be a bit pricey, especially top-quality ones. With touchscreen laptops, you need to spend a little bit more, mainly because of the additional touchscreen functionality. Aside from the touchscreen, the factors that will affect your cost are the same things that will affect your cost when buying a regular laptop. Things like processing speed, RAM size, storage space, screen resolution, battery life, and more.

Generally with laptops and, by implication, touchscreen laptops; you pay more if you want more features. However, from our research, we found that with between $999 and $1,500, you can get a very good touchscreen laptop (with cost being lower if you are looking for a small screen). Surely, the more you are willing to spend, the better the quality you are likely to get. If you, however, want to look for the least expensive models, be sure to avoid cheap touchscreen laptops, because they are usually of very poor quality, which can be inefficient and very frustrating.

Do you want to get a touchscreen laptop that will serve you perfectly? If you do, then you need to take some time to consider some factors. These factors will help you understand exactly what you should be focusing on and what is not so important. After properly considering these, you will know what you need and confidently go for it. These are some of the factors you need to consider:

• Processor Speed
• RAM Size
• Storage Size
• Graphic Card
• Display
• Battery Life
• Operating System

We will now discuss these in some detail.

One of the most important things anyone should consider when purchasing any type of computing device (touchscreen laptops included) is its processing speed. This is basically what determines its power. The higher the processing speed, the faster it will operate, and the more capable it will be of handling tough processing assignments. If you are a gamer, video or picture editor, or a music producer, go for the highest processing speed you can get. You should not consider anything lower than a core i5, better still, a core i7, or best still, a core i9.

Next is the RAM size. This works closely with the processing speed. The RAM does not actually add directly to the processing speed, but it allows the processor to handle more tasks at the same time. We always have a lot of applications running on our laptops—both known and unknown. Regardless of how fast the processor is, if the RAM is low, you will find that your system will get sluggish at times, which will usually be a result of the number of applications running simultaneously being more than it can handle efficiently. With a higher RAM, it will be able to handle more applications at the same time. So, choose a RAM size that will be ideal for the type of use you will want to put your touchscreen laptop to.

Another thing worth considering is the internal storage space. Generally speaking, most people who do serious work on their laptops (video, pictures, music etc.) do not save their work on the laptop but rather on an external drive. To this extent, the internal storage matters more for the operating system and other programs and applications you may want to install. That said, it is always better to have more storage space than less. Go for as much storage space as you can afford.

High-def imagery is now a must-have on any device, with many now going for ultra-high-def. Surely, we’ve long moved from 1k to where we are now at 4k, or ultra-high definition, as the new rave. To enjoy the best picture on your touchscreen laptop, you will need three major components to work together. These include: screen resolution, screen size, and graphic card.

As with most computer-related things, higher numbers are always better. Go for the highest resolution you can get, the biggest screen size you can afford, and a graphic card with the biggest memory you can afford. This used to be mainly a concern of those who were into graphics or video editing. The case is different today, as most games require high-end graphics to operate optimally. If this is important to you, then look out for it.

Still talking about the display, the size of the display can make using your laptop more or less convenient. Reading text on your screen will be easier if the screen is larger, especially if your eyesight is not as good as you want it to be. There appear to be more advantages to having a larger screen size than there are disadvantages.

Your laptop’s operating system is the engine on which it runs. As of today, Windows appears to have the touchscreen laptop firmly in its grasp. This means you will not have much by way of choice. For the best touchscreen experience, go with Windows 10. Windows 8 offers a good touchscreen interface but not as good as Windows 10.

If you are one of those who don’t mind running installations by yourself, you can opt for a laptop without a preloaded operating system and maybe save yourself a few bucks in the process. Choosing one that comes with a preloaded operating system is, however, preferable to many because of the convenience it offers.

One very important thing that we’ve kept for last is the battery life. The whole idea of a laptop is that it is something you can carry around without needing to have it plugged into a mains socket. Be sure to go for a touchscreen laptop with a long battery life. This is especially important because the added touchscreen functionality drains the battery even more than regular laptops will.

With these few factors listed and discussed above, you can easily look through different touchscreen laptops and know which will serve you better.
