A touch-screen laptop no longer seems like a miracle. But a couple of years ago he was a curiosity. And yet, not all laptops have acquired touch screens. There are few similar models on the market. Most touch notebooks have a simple filling and are used for work.
Diversity
To consider the very first models of laptops with a touch screen is useless. Most of them improved and acquired an interesting appearance. As mentioned earlier, most models are used for work. Therefore, gamers should not even look into this niche.
Some manufacturers have created a line of laptops with a touch screen. Not all of them were in demand and popular. Buyers liked laptops more than just with a touch screen, but also with an unusual design.
Manufacturer Dell
This manufacturer is popular with people who prefer to buy high-quality equipment. Dell has released several touch-screen laptop models. In addition to pretty fanciful laptops, there were simple, at first glance, versions.
Dell Inspiration 7779 is called a laptop-transformer, which is equipped with a metal case. Why transformer? The fact is that this laptop can quickly turn into a tablet.
In addition to the fact that there is a dual-core processor of the Kaby Lake family inside, the laptop is equipped with an integrated and discrete graphics card. RAM inside 16 GB, it works at a frequency of 2.3 GHz. 512 GB internal memory. The screen received Full HD resolution with a diagonal of 17.3 inches. Of course, this model is unlikely to appeal to fastidious gamers, but it can still run modern toys.
Another touchscreen laptop from Dell is the Inspiron 5368. This laptop is also a transformer and comes with a metal case. Depending on the configuration, there may be a dual-core processor inside, an integrated and discrete graphics card, RAM from 4 GB, and internal 128 GB. This model is more like a netbook, since the diagonal of the screen is only 13 inches.
But the most interesting version of this manufacturer was the XPS 13 9365. This is a relatively new laptop, which belongs to the category of ultrabooks with a diagonal of 13 inches. The laptop is also a transformer, can turn around 360 degrees and turn into a tablet.
A feature of this model is its appearance. Therefore, rely on a powerful system is not worth it. This laptop is needed for those who work with office programs, mail and surfing the Internet. To work longer, the manufacturer installed a capacious battery.
HP manufacturer
This manufacturer decided not to stand out for any special design, but to make the laptop simple and functional. The Envy model at first glance seems like an ordinary laptop. But this is a touchscreen laptop from HP.
This mid-range model has received good functionality and compactness. Depending on the configuration, a dual-core Core i5 or i7 may work inside. The amount of RAM can also vary - from 4 GB. The video card is a built-in and discrete version.
But the company decided not to stop there and still try to release an ultrabook transformer. This model is very similar to the options from the manufacturer Dell. It is also equipped with a metal case. The HP Specter 13-W000 X360 is a laptop that comes with a 13-inch screen.
Depending on the configuration, it may have different processors, RAM and internal memory. The top model runs on a dual-core Intel Core i7 processor, has 8 GB of RAM and 512 GB of internal. But the video card is only built-in.
Manufacturer Lenovo
Lenovo has achieved greater success with touch notebooks. She released a series of ultrabooks with good functionality. One of the transformers was the ThinkPad Yoga 260.
In its performance, this Lenovo laptop with a touch screen is most suitable for those who like to watch movies, surf the Internet, and work with office programs. The model is presented in three versions, but the top one got a pretty good “stuffing”. Inside, there is a dual-core Intel Core i7, the video card is presented with integrated Intel HD graphics and discrete NVIDIA GeForce 920mx. The RAM is 8 GB, and the internal 500 GB. The only drawback is the small 12-inch screen.
In addition to this model, the manufacturer has released several very similar ones. But the Lenovo Y70-70 version is fundamentally different. This laptop is very reminiscent of gaming variations. Most likely, this is due to the massive metal body and bright backlight keys.
Also for this laptop model installed two fans. The screen received a diagonal of 17 inches. The top model runs a dual-core Intel Core i7 with a frequency of 2.9 GHz. The internal memory is 16 GB, and the internal memory is 1 TB.
Manufacturer Asus
This company also at one time tried to produce laptops with a touch screen. Asus VivoBook Flip is a transformer laptop. Display diagonal of 15 inches. The most budgetary variation of this model is more like a tablet. But in the top version there is a dual-core Intel Core i7, a discrete NVIDIA GeForce 940m graphics card, 8 GB of RAM and a 1 TB drive. Therefore, to call such a budget version does not turn the language.
Relevance
A touch-screen laptop has not yet gained crazy popularity. This is due to the fact that many buyers prefer either office budget models or gaming laptops. Touch laptops are more expensive than budget ones, but weaker than gaming ones. Therefore, their purchase at the moment is impractical.
