Laptops with a touchscreen: an overview of top notebooks

There are many laptops with a touchscreen - we present the most popular notebooks that you can use with your finger and pen.

More than just a laptop: Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga Pro 2

The Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga Pro 2 combines laptop and tablet in one device, making it one of the convertible notebooks.

• Highlights: With a resolution of 3, 200 x 1, 800 pixels, the Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga Pro 2 stands out from all its competitors. The screen has such a good resolution that it is almost too good to touch it.
• Disadvantages: You can get a laptop and a tablet as well at a price of just under 1280 euros. Apart from the price, there is nothing to complain about about the convertible device.
• Alternatives: The convertible notebook type offers significantly cheaper models. Lenovo itself offers a high-quality alternative with the Lenovo Thinkpad Twist. Other Thinkpad-Tablet hybrids are the Asus Tachi, the Dell XPS 12 and the HP EliteBook.

Superslim laptop with touchscreen: Acer S7

Bad tongues claim that the Acer S7 is a better MacBook Air. Even if this is certainly a question of taste, the device convinces with its super slim line.

• Highlights: The design, workmanship and features of the Acer S7 are just right, as is the price. It is one of the most mobile notebooks currently and represents a top alternative to the MacBook Air.
• However, the Acer S7 fails in one important point, especially for mobile devices: The fan blows quite loudly.
• Alternatives: If you're not fundamentally looking for a Windows device, the best alternative is Apple's MacBook Air - unfortunately without a touchscreen. An expensive but good alternative is the Samsung ATIV Book 9, which convinces with a similarly slim design and high-resolution touchscreen.

Designer laptop with IPS touchscreen: Asus Zenbook UX301

If you are looking for a Windows counterpart to the MacBook Pro, you will inevitably end up with the Asus Zenbook UX301. Its high-resolution sIPS display with 2, 560 x 1, 440 pixels offers Apple's retina screen easily.

• The Asus Zenbook is a designer device in which no edge has been left to chance.
• Disadvantages: You currently pay around 1, 600 euros for the Zenbook - more than you spend on a comparable MacBook Pro. The chic design does not justify this price.
• Alternatives: The Sony Vaio Pro is also nice to look at. The display only has a resolution of 1, 920 x 1, 080 pixels, but the price is almost 500 euros lower.
