10 Best Touch Screen Laptops in Malaysia 2023 - Reviews

Why It’s Our Top Pick

The Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 laptop is our editors’ choice for the best buy laptop with a touch screen in Malaysia. Aside from all the advantages of a hybrid laptop, it has excellent performance to carry out most basic computing functions and handle heavier programs. Best of all, it doesn’t come with a sky-high price.

Features:

Encased in a thin silhouette, you can easily slide the Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 laptop in and out of bags and carry it to wherever you are going. It comes with a 14.0-inch FHD (1920x1080), touch-enabled WVA display. With its thin bezels and wide viewing angle, you can enjoy an almost borderless view from any angle without affecting your viewing experience.

The 360° flexible hinge allows you to seamlessly shift between 4 different modes. You can work on your tasks in laptop mode and quickly switch to tent mode for watching clips when taking a fiver. When the lid is opened, the keyboard is slightly lifted for a more ergonomic typing experience, which is supported by a lift hinge installed beneath the laptop.

Performance:

The Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 laptop is your best companion for both work and play. With its quick and responsive performance, you can work and game freely as it equips a powerful 11th generation Intel Core i5 processor and a discrete NVIDIA GeForce MX350 graphic card. Its equipped memory greatly improves the smoothness in multitasking and shortens the boot-up time too. 

Moreover, the Adaptive Thermal Technology cleverly adjusts your performance profile to control its heat dissipation. When you are moving your laptop, it will automatically generate less heat and only ramp itself up when stationary. Meanwhile, battery life is mediocre but the laptop does support ExpressCharge to minimise the time you spend tethered to a wall.

Here’s a detachable laptop that provides you with many diverse ways to interact with the programs you use every day – with or without a keyboard. If you are eyeing one with the touch-enabled feature, our recommended pick is the Lenovo Yoga Duet 7i which offers powerful performance and high versatility.

Features:

Weighing below 1.2kg, the Lenovo Yoga Duet 7i is light and versatile enough to be carried around. Work, sketches and taking notes is just as easy and comfortable in laptop mode or at lower angles with its adjustable kickstand. You can quickly connect the detachable keyboard via a Bluetooth connection for a more relaxed and efficient typing experience

The 13.0-inch WQHD display features a wide-angle view, 450 nits brightness and 10-point multi-touch, supporting a resolution of up to 2160x1350. Another thing to highlight is that the Lenovo Yoga Duet 7i offers two USB-C ports and a Thunderbolt 4 port for data transfer and peripheral connections so you can be worry-free from running out of ports.

Performance:

The Lenovo Yoga Duet 7i delivers a solid performance that you can count on with its latest Intel Core i5-1135G7 processor and Intel Iris Xe Graphics. Its quad-core processor together with AI features dynamically adjusts power to optimise its battery life to go up to 12.3 hours (local video 1080p playback). Seamless multitasking and apps switching will be of no issue too.

In terms of graphics, it’s on par with entry-level discrete graphic cards such as the NVIDIA GeForce MX series. You can run Photoshop and some less demanding video editing tools on it without any issue. Gamers can also play fast-paced games in 1080p resolutions at 60FPS for a more detailed, immersive gameplay.

• CPU: Intel Core i5-1135G7
• GPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics

Not all touchscreen laptops come with an exorbitant price tag. The HP Chromebook x360 11 G3 is one such computer, and features an 11.6-inch touchscreen display.

Feature:

With its 360° adjustability, you can enjoy the HP Chromebook x360 11 G3 in four different modes. Despite the small screen size, the laptop is 2.09cm thick and has a starting weight at 1.45kg which is decent. Moreover, the device is spill-and-impact-resistant to survive everyday knocks and scratches. On the sides, you can find two USB 3.1 Type-C ports and two USB 3.1 ports for data transfer and device connections.

Performance:

Tapping and sliding across the HD screen is smooth without freeze screen or jerking, which is quite unexpected from a budget touchscreen laptop in this price range. A little downside is the thick bezel design on the screen, making the already-small screen look even smaller on the eyes.

Onto the hardware specs, the HP Chromebook x360 11 G3 equips an Intel Celeron N4020 with Intel UHD Graphics 600, 4GB of RAM and 32GB of eMMC storage. Both the processor and graphic card are primarily built for inexpensive notebooks. So, this machine is good for handling most basic computing tasks like streaming, web browsing and word processing. 

You should do your best to keep minimum activities running in the background to ensure a smooth system operation, given the limited memory and storage. 

Specs:

• Year: 2021
• CPU: Intel Celeron N4020
• GPU: Intel UHD Graphics 600
• RAM: 4GB
• Storage: 32GB eMMC
• Display: 15.6-inch, 1366x768 pixels (FHD), touch, IPS 
• Weight: 1.45kg
• Ports: 2x USB 3.1 Type-C, 2x USB 3.1, 1x 3.5mm stereo jack
• Dimensions: Without stand: 295 (W) x 205.3 (D) x 20.9 (H) mm

A powerful laptop with a decent processor and graphic card is essential to get all your university assignments and projects done before deadlines. In case you are planning to purchase a constant companion in your hectic school life, consider the Acer Spin 5.

Feature:

You get a 13.5-inch QHD display with a slim bezel design on the Acer Spin 5. The IPS screen can support up to 2256x1504 resolutions, delivering vivid images in high brightness. Even better, you can navigate quickly on the display thanks to its multi-touch feature. 

For device connections and file transfer, you have two USB 3.1 Type-C ports and two USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports to utilise. At merely 14.9mm thin and 1.2kg weight, you can easily slip this mini laptop into your backpack and carry it wherever you go.  

Performance:

Under the hood, the Acer Spin 5 packs the latest Intel Core i5-1165G7 with integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics. This configuration is good enough for running general tasks while being capable of handling heavier software such as Photoshop. Multitasking and apps switching are fast and smooth as it also equips 16GB RAM and 512GB SSD.

A bonus is that you’ll get an Acer Wacom Active Touch Stylus to ease you in taking notes and drawing. The stylus pen is great to use when you need extra precision. Unfortunately, the battery life isn’t that amazing. With an expected maximum battery run time of 7 hours, you might always need to carry the adapter along.

Specs:

• Year: 2021
• CPU: Intel Core i7-1165G7
• GPU: Intel Iris Xe Graphics
• RAM: 16GB
• Storage: 512GB SSD
• Display: 13.5-inch, 2256x1504 pixel, IPS LCD with multi-touch 
• Weight: 1.2kg

A lightweight laptop design may not be a deal-breaker for most users. However, it’s always a good bonus to have as nobody wants to carry a heavy brick around. The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go is weighted 1.11kg only, and is great for those who are always on the move.

Features:

In an ultra-light design, the Microsoft Surface Laptop Go comes with a 12.4-inch display with 10 point multi-touch. You can speedily navigate, scroll, and browse through documents and websites.

The laptop comes with a fingerprint power button to eliminate the hassle of keying in a password, shortening the boot-up time to keep you ready in a short moment. There are only two USB ports and a Surface Connect port available, which we think is a bit lacklustre for most users.

Performance:

The Microsoft Surface Laptop Go is powered by an Intel Core i5-1035G1 processor with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC storage. Although the base clock of the processor is lower at 1GHz, it is still a decent unit to handle everyday jobs. If you need a faster and smoother performance, you can upgrade to the higher variant with 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD.

With integrated Intel UHD Graphics, you can’t expect this laptop to handle GPU-demanding games and software. In fact, it’s only good in running basic stuff such as web browsing, binge-watching Netflix shows, and some casual gaming. The laptop has an amazing battery life of up to 13 hours, allowing you to work in peace of mind all day.

Specs:

• Year: 2020
• CPU: Intel Core i5-1035G1

If you are a gaming enthusiast,  you should consider the HP ENVY Laptop – 15-ep0010tx. It comes with a 15.6-inch touch screen that provides a large view, making the whole gaming experience more engaging.

Feature:

Coming in natural silver, the HP ENVY features a very simple yet stylish design. However, it’s slightly heavier than usual laptops with a starting weight of 2.14kg. Still, we can fully understand this given its large 15.6-inch screen. Moreover, every detail in your gameplay can be displayed clearly on the FHD display. You can minimise the hassle to zoom in when you need to handle photo editing tasks.

Performance:

Powered by an Intel Core i7-10750H processor, this is a great machine to handle your AutoCAD and Photoshop tasks. The 16GB of RAM allows you to multitask and open multiple internet tabs seamlessly. The HP ENVY also comes with a huge 1TB SSD memory that makes apps-switching faster while ensuring fast boot-up and shut down processes.

Under the hood is a discrete NVIDIA GeForce GTX1660 Ti which is a good graphic card to handle most popular multiplayer games. For the latest triple-A titles, you might need to do some tweaks to the graphic settings to enjoy them at playable FPS. And finally, the touch screen is smooth and responsive, enabling you to interact directly with what is displayed under your fingers.

It’s a simple fact that your fingertips are generally bulbous to provide the precision you desire on a touchscreen. This is where a stylus pen shows its worth by greatly improving your touch accuracy, especially for writing, sketching, and drawing. 

If you need a touchscreen laptop with a built-in stylus pen, the Acer Spin 3 is the machine you should look for.

Feature:

You’ll be amazed by the stunning 13.3-inch WQXGA display on the Acer Spin 3 with its super-high pixel density. It can support a resolution of up to 2560x1600, to clearly display every pixel in your images. Even though the laptop has quite a compact design, the machine comes with a full collection of ports for data transfer and peripheral connections. 

Performance:

The Acer Spin 3 features the latest 11th-generation Intel Core i5 processor and an Intel Iris Xe Graphics to deliver powerful performance while also being energy efficient. 

Together with 8GB RAM and 512GB SSD, booting the machine up, running basic computing tasks, multitasking and web browsing in multiple tabs will be at ease. You can even pull enough juice to run some lighter versions of photo and video editing tools on this little machine.

Navigating on the 13.3-inch screen is buttery smooth as each slide and tap gives an immediate response without any lagging feel. The built-in Acer Active Stylus with Wacom AES 1.0 makes drawing and writing easy. Worth mentioning is also the long-lasting battery life that has a maximum run time of 15 hours on a single charge.
