Touchscreen laptops remain one of the most versatile choices for students, creators, professionals and casual users who want the convenience of a tablet plus the full-power of a laptop. In India the market is crowded — from sleek convertibles and premium 2-in-1s to powerful thin-and-lights with precise touch displays. Below I’ve picked the top 10 touchscreen laptops you can buy in India (October 2025), summarised the key specs, who each model is best for, strengths & weaknesses, and cited current price references so you can quickly compare. (Prices fluctuate with sales and configurations; I’ve listed commonly available configurations and their Indian retail price references.)
How I picked these 10
I prioritized: quality of the touchscreen (resolution / OLED / color accuracy), build & hinge (convertible vs slab), performance for common tasks, battery life, stylus support where available, and value in the Indian market. Each entry includes a trusted retailer/manufacturer link for the price referenced.

A premium convertible that repeatedly tops lists for screen quality, solid aluminium build, and long battery life.

Buying guide — how to choose the right touchscreen laptop for you
1. Decide the form factor you need
- Convertible 360° (x360 / Flip / Yoga): Best if you want tablet mode, tent mode for presentations, and pen support for on-screen drawing/note-taking.
- Detachable (Surface Pro): Tablet-first, with keyboard sold separately — extremely portable and ideal for artists and frequent travelers.
- Clamshell with touchscreen (Surface Laptop / ZenBook slabs): Touchscreen convenience without convertible bulk; good if you rarely use true tablet mode.
2. Display type & touch quality
- OLED vs IPS: OLED gives deeper blacks, higher contrast and vivid colors — preferred for creators and media consumption, but costlier. IPS still offers great color and is cheaper.
- Resolution: Look for at least Full HD (1920×1080). For creators prefer 2.8K/3K or OLED panels.
- Stylus support: If you plan to draw or take handwritten notes, check whether the pen is included or supported, and which pen standard (Wacom AES, Microsoft Pen Protocol, etc.).
3. Performance & battery
- CPU/GPU: For everyday work: Intel U-series/Core Ultra or AMD Ryzen U-series are great. For heavier editing: H-series or discrete GPUs.
- RAM & storage: 16GB RAM + 512GB SSD is a balanced configuration for most power users. Many ultraportables still ship with 8GB/256GB in cheaper configs.
- Battery life: Real-world battery life varies; manufacturer claims are optimistic. Convertibles with high-res OLED might use more power.
4. Ports & expandability
Thin convertibles limit ports — ensure you have enough USB-C/Thunderbolt for your needs or plan an adapter/dock.
5. Pricing & deals
Prices in India fluctuate a lot with festival sales (Diwali), bank offers, and OEM promotions. Always compare manufacturer stores, Flipkart, Amazon, Croma and local retailers. The price references above are examples — check the specific SKU and current sale price before buying. Several of the models listed are frequently discounted during big sales.

- Buy during festival sales (Diwali / Big Deal Days), there are often substantial discounts and bank cashback offers in India that lower the effective price. (New York Post)
FAQs
🖥️ Top 25 FAQs About Touchscreen Laptops in India
1. What is a touchscreen laptop?
A touchscreen laptop allows you to interact directly with the screen using your fingers or a stylus, just like a smartphone or tablet. It supports tap, swipe, and pinch gestures for navigation and drawing.
2. Are touchscreen laptops worth it in India?
Yes, especially for students, designers, and professionals who take notes or sketch. They’re also great for casual entertainment and presentations. However, if you only use a laptop for typing or coding, a non-touch model might be more affordable.

There are three types:
- Convertible (2-in-1) – screen flips 360° to use as a tablet (e.g., HP Spectre x360, Lenovo Yoga).
- Detachable – keyboard detaches completely (e.g., Microsoft Surface Pro 9).
- Clamshell – normal laptop design but with touch-enabled display (e.g., Surface Laptop 5).
4. Do touchscreen laptops support a stylus pen?
Most convertible and detachable models support an active stylus for writing or drawing. Check the specifications — some include a stylus in the box, while others require a separate purchase.

7. Can I use a touchscreen laptop without a stylus?
Yes, all touchscreen laptops can be operated using fingers. The stylus is only needed for handwriting, sketching, or precision tasks.
8. Does using touch reduce battery life?
Slightly — touchscreen layers consume a bit more power than non-touch screens, but the impact is small (usually 30–60 minutes less battery life).
9. Can I disable the touchscreen if I don’t need it?
Yes. You can disable it from Device Manager → Human Interface Devices → HID-compliant touchscreen and re-enable it anytime.
10. Are touchscreen laptops good for gaming?
Not primarily. While you can play casual touch-based games, serious gaming depends on CPU/GPU performance, not touch capability. Gamers usually prefer non-touch displays for better refresh rates.
11. Do touchscreen laptops come with screen protectors?
Usually not. You can buy a matte or glossy screen protector separately to reduce fingerprints and scratches.
12. Can I clean a touchscreen laptop like a normal display?
Use a microfiber cloth slightly dampened with distilled water or screen cleaner. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners or paper towels, as they may damage the coating.
13. Do touchscreen laptops support multitouch gestures?
Yes, most support 10-point multitouch, allowing pinch-to-zoom, rotate, and multi-finger scrolling gestures.
14. Which operating system is best for touchscreen laptops?
Windows 11 is the most touchscreen-optimized OS, supporting pen input and tablet mode. ChromeOS (on Chromebooks) and some Linux distributions also support touch but less smoothly.
15. Are touchscreen laptops heavier than regular ones?
Slightly. The touch digitizer layer adds around 100–200 grams, depending on screen size.
16. Can I connect external monitors to touchscreen laptops?
Yes, through HDMI or USB-C/Thunderbolt ports. However, only the laptop’s built-in screen is touch-enabled — external monitors won’t usually support touch unless they’re also touchscreen displays.

Yes. Brands like ASUS, HP, and Samsung offer OLED touchscreen models with vibrant colors and better contrast for creators.
18. Which touchscreen laptop is best for students?

All have pen support, accurate color displays, and smooth pressure sensitivity.

Most are as durable as regular laptops. However, avoid pressing the screen too hard or using sharp objects. Models with Gorilla Glass protection (like HP Spectre or Dell XPS) resist scratches better.
