Asus Touch-Screen Laptops

ASUS® touchscreen laptops allow users to use the screen like a tablet by tapping files and programs instead of manipulating the mouse. They’re mostly 2-in-1 style that let users turn the computer from a full PC into a tablet and back again in moments.

Asus Touchscreen Laptop Features
Because of the 2-in-1 format of these computers, they‘re ideal for use as tablets, and users have fewer electronic devices to buy or carry around. The biggest difference between Asus 2-in-1 laptops and standard laptops is how far the hinges move. Most are fully convertible, which means the hinge moves 360 degrees so the keyboard lies flat against the back of the screen and out of the way, creating the look of a tablet. This design means the laptops convert easily to tent mode or in any position in between. All types have a special tablet mode that makes the PC more touch-friendly.

Common Asus Touchscreen Laptop Specs
Windows® touchscreen 2-in-1 laptops have similar specifications to standard computers, depending on their intended application. Budget models intended for browsing and light-duty work sacrifice internal storage capacity and use slower processor speeds to optimize battery life. Mid-range laptops feature dual and quad core i5 and i7 Intel® processors and have more internal storage, while top-end touchscreen models have powerful processors with clock speeds of up to 4.9 GHz and graphics cards for gaming and multimedia processing. All laptops are Bluetooth® compatible to connect to wireless devices such as mice, printers, or headsets, and Wi-Fi® capability allows access to wireless routers and the internet. ASUS laptops feature a slim, lightweight design for easy portability and most have wide-view full HD screens for better media playback and viewing.

What Hard Drives Types Do Asus Touchscreen Laptops Have?
Buyers can choose between three hard drive types: HDD, SSD, and eMMC. HDD options are slower but can store up to 2TB of files and programs. SSDs are quiet and fast with storage up to 1TB. Budget-friendly eMMC options that use 32GB or 64GB flash drives are ideal for browsing and running cloud-based software. Users can add additional storage capacity using an external hard drive or sign up for ASUS cloud storage solutions.

What OS Do Asus Touchscreen Laptops Use?
These computers run either Windows® or Google Chrome™ OS. Windows options include Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Pro, and the streamlined Windows S that can only run applications from the Windows store in the cloud. Chromebooks use web-centric programs instead of downloaded software. They run Chromebook™ and Android™ apps as well.

Are the Keyboards Removable?
No, not all Asus touchscreen laptops have removable keyboards. Transformer series laptops have detachable keyboards, while other 2-in-1 laptops and Chromebooks can flip 360 degrees, although the keyboard remains physically attached to the machine. Transformer keyboards come off and snap back into place in seconds. Removing the keyboard makes the laptop lighter and smaller for on-the-go use as a tablet.
