A laptop with a touch screen and an attached keyboard gives you the best of both worlds: type at full speed, then tap and write. The best laptops touch screen attached keyboard models here are 360-degree convertibles and one sliding-hinge design, all with the keyboard built in. We compare keyboard feel, pen support and battery.

Quick verdict: best laptops touch screen attached keyboard

If you want one answer, buy the Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 Gen 9, our best overall pick in this roundup. It pairs a bright 2.8K OLED touch screen with a pen in the box, a comfortable keyboard and a 75 Wh battery, and it flips into tablet mode without detaching anything.

The HP Spectre x360 14 is the premium alternative for buyers who want a more refined build.

Best overall attached keyboard pick

The Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 Gen 9 leads this roundup because it gets the whole package right. Its 2.8K OLED touch screen is bright and sharp, the Slim Pen ships in the box, the keyboard has satisfying travel, and the 75 Wh battery is among the largest in this group. It is the safest single choice for most buyers.

The Yoga 9i also wins on the small things: the keyboard backlight is even, the trackpad is large, and the pen docks in the body instead of rattling around in your bag. Those details add up over a year of daily use.

Best pen included pick

If you plan to write or draw every day, the HP Spectre x360 14 and the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 both include a pen, so there is nothing extra to buy. The Spectre pairs its pen with a premium aluminum body and a 2.8K OLED touch screen, while the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 pairs its S Pen with a 3K AMOLED touch screen.

Either one is ready to write on from day one.

Best value attached keyboard pick

The Lenovo Yoga 7i 14 Gen 9 and the Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 7445 give you the same attached-keyboard convertible idea at a lower tier. Both have a 14 inch touch screen, a full keyboard that folds back 360 degrees, and a battery in the 64 to 71 Wh range. You give up some screen brightness and premium materials, but the core experience stays intact.

The choice between the two comes down to screen quality against ports. Pick the Yoga 7i for the OLED panel, or the Inspiron if you need USB-A and HDMI without an adapter.

Comparison table: attached keyboard touch laptops at a glance

The table below puts the seven picks side by side so you can compare screen size, keyboard form, pen support and battery at a glance. Every model ships with a touch screen and a keyboard that stays attached or folds away with the laptop, so there is nothing extra to carry or lose.

Battery figures are the maker-listed watt-hour ratings, and pen inclusion is stated per model.

Model Screen Keyboard form Pen Battery Best for
Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 Gen 9 14 inch 2.8K OLED touch 360-degree convertible Included 75 Wh Best overall

Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 7445 14 inch FHD+ touch 360-degree convertible Sold separately 64 Wh Best value

Two patterns stand out in the table. First, OLED and AMOLED screens dominate the top of the list, with only the Inspiron using a standard FHD+ panel. Second, pen inclusion splits the group down the middle, so check the listing for your exact configuration before you order.

How we selected laptops with an attached keyboard

We only considered laptops actually sold with a touch screen and a keyboard that stays attached, whether it folds back 360 degrees, slides forward, or sits in a normal clamshell body. Detachables whose keyboard is an optional extra were left out, since the point of this roundup is a keyboard you never have to pack.

Each pick was judged on keyboard feel, display, pen support, performance, battery and weight.

Keyboard feel was weighted first, since it is the part of the laptop you touch most. Display quality came second, followed by pen support, battery and weight. Models that failed the attached-keyboard test were dropped, even if their screens were excellent.

Best laptops touch screen attached keyboard: the 7 picks

The seven laptops below cover the full range of attached-keyboard designs, from slim 360-degree convertibles to the sliding-hinge Surface Laptop Studio 2. Every pick includes a touch screen and a keyboard in the box, and each one is suited to a different kind of buyer.

Read the verdict for each model, then check the buying guide if you are torn between two similar picks.

Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 Gen 9: best overall

The Yoga 9i 14 Gen 9 is the most complete attached-keyboard touch laptop in this roundup. Its 14 inch 2.8K OLED touch screen is bright, sharp and color rich, the Slim Pen ships in the box and docks in the body, and the keyboard has comfortable travel for long typing sessions.

A 75 Wh battery and a 1.24 kg starting weight make it easy to carry all day.

Lenovo pairs the OLED panel with a rotating sound bar hinge, so the speakers face you in laptop, tent and tablet modes. The Core Ultra processor handles office work, photo editing and light creative tasks without fuss, and the build feels solid in the hand. The screen supports pen input with good palm rejection, which makes note taking and sketching feel natural.

Pros: bright 2.8K OLED touch screen, pen included, strong 75 Wh battery, light 1.24 kg body, good speakers.

Cons: no dedicated graphics option, pen is slim and may feel small in large hands, ports are limited to USB-C and one USB-A.

Buy if you want one premium convertible that does everything well. Skip if you need a dedicated graphics card or a larger 15 inch or 16 inch screen.

HP Spectre x360 14: best premium

The Spectre x360 14 is the most polished convertible in this group, with a gem-cut aluminum body, a 14 inch 2.8K OLED touch screen and a pen included in the box. The keyboard is backlit and comfortable, the trackpad is large and precise, and the 68 Wh battery gets through a normal workday.

It is the pick for buyers who want a premium feel in every detail.

HP gives the Spectre a 9 MP webcam with good low light performance, which matters if you spend your days on video calls. The OLED panel is bright and color accurate, and the pen docks magnetically on the side of the machine. The hinge is stiff enough to hold the screen steady at any angle, including tent mode for watching video.

Pros: premium aluminum build, pen included, bright 2.8K OLED touch screen, good webcam, comfortable backlit keyboard.

Cons: heavier than the Yoga 9i at about 1.44 kg, no USB-A port on some configurations, pen is slim and easy to misplace.

Buy if you want the most refined convertible with a pen in the box. Skip if you want the lightest machine in this roundup or need legacy USB-A ports.

Microsoft Surface Laptop Studio 2: best unique hinge

The Surface Laptop Studio 2 takes a different approach: instead of flipping 360 degrees, its 14.4 inch 120 Hz touch screen slides forward over the keyboard into a stage mode for drawing and presenting. The keyboard stays attached at all times, so it is always there when you need to type.

It is the most distinctive design in this roundup and the only one with an optional NVIDIA GeForce RTX graphics card.

The pull-forward hinge makes the Studio 2 a strong choice for creators who draw with a pen, since the screen sits at a comfortable drafting angle. The Slim Pen 2 is sold separately, so budget for it if you plan to write. The 58 Wh battery is the smallest in this group, which is the main trade-off for the powerful hardware and the unique hinge. The stage mode also works well for video calls, since the screen sits closer to eye level than on a normal laptop.

Pros: unique sliding hinge, optional RTX graphics, 120 Hz touch screen, excellent build quality, keyboard always attached.

Cons: pen sold separately, smallest battery in this group at 58 Wh, heavier than most convertibles at about 1.97 kg.

Buy if you want a creator laptop with a drafting angle and optional RTX graphics. Skip if battery life matters more than graphics power or you want the lightest machine here.

Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360: best AMOLED

The Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 pairs a 14 inch 3K AMOLED touch screen with an S Pen in the box, making it the best pick in this roundup for display quality and out-of-the-box pen support. The AMOLED panel has deep blacks and vivid color, the keyboard is backlit and comfortable, and the 76 Wh battery is the largest in this group.

At about 1.39 kg it is also easy to carry.

Samsung builds the Book4 Pro 360 for buyers who live in the Galaxy ecosystem, with easy file sharing and earbud pairing across Samsung devices, but it works fine as a standalone Windows laptop too. The S Pen docks magnetically and charges while stored, so it is always ready. The 360-degree hinge is smooth and holds the screen steady in tent and tablet modes.

Pros: 3K AMOLED touch screen, S Pen included, largest battery in this group at 76 Wh, light 1.39 kg body, quiet fan under normal use.

Cons: no USB-A port, pen is slim, some software features work best with other Samsung devices.

Buy if you want the best screen and an included S Pen in a light convertible. Skip if you need legacy USB-A ports or do not want a Samsung-centric software layer.

ASUS Zenbook 14 Flip OLED: best value OLED

The Zenbook 14 Flip OLED brings a 14 inch 2.8K OLED touch screen to a lower tier, which makes it the best value OLED pick in this roundup. The keyboard is backlit and comfortable, the 75 Wh battery matches the Yoga 9i, and the 360-degree hinge folds flat for tablet use. The Pen 2.0 is sold separately, so add it to your list if you plan to write.

ASUS pairs the OLED panel with a Core Ultra processor and a slim aluminum body that weighs about 1.5 kg. The screen is bright and color rich, and the speakers are tuned by Harman Kardon. The main trade-offs are the separate pen and a webcam that is adequate rather than great.

Pros: 2.8K OLED touch screen at a lower tier, strong 75 Wh battery, good speakers, comfortable backlit keyboard, slim body.

Cons: pen sold separately, average webcam, slightly heavier than the Yoga 9i.

Buy if you want an OLED touch screen and a long battery life without paying the premium tier. Skip if you need a pen in the box or a top tier webcam.

Lenovo Yoga 7i 14 Gen 9: best mid-range

The Yoga 7i 14 Gen 9 is the mid-range sibling of the Yoga 9i, and it keeps most of what makes that machine good. You get a 14 inch 2.8K OLED touch screen, a comfortable backlit keyboard, a 360-degree hinge and a 71 Wh battery, in a 1.49 kg body. The pen is available on select configurations, so check the exact listing before you buy.

Lenovo positions the Yoga 7i as the sensible middle of its convertible range: the screen is the same OLED panel as the 9i, the speakers are good, and the Core Ultra processor handles everyday work and study with ease. The main differences are a simpler build, a smaller speaker system and the pen situation, which is the one thing to confirm on the listing.

The Yoga 7i also keeps the rotating sound bar from the 9i, so movies and calls sound better than on most mid-range convertibles. It is a small detail, but it shows up every time you watch a video or join a meeting.

Pros: 2.8K OLED touch screen, strong 71 Wh battery, comfortable keyboard, good value in the mid-range tier.

Cons: pen only on select configurations, heavier than the Yoga 9i, no dedicated graphics option.

Buy if you want the Yoga 9i experience at a mid-range tier. Skip if you need a pen guaranteed in the box or the lightest convertible here.

Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 7445: best value

The Dell Inspiron 14 2-in-1 7445 is the most affordable way into this roundup, with a 14 inch FHD+ touch screen, a full backlit keyboard and a 360-degree hinge in a 1.68 kg body. The 64 Wh battery is the smallest among the 360-degree picks, but it is enough for a normal day of classes or office work. The pen is sold separately.

Dell gives the Inspiron a practical set of ports, including USB-A and HDMI, which the slimmer convertibles in this group mostly lack. The FHD+ panel is less sharp and less bright than the OLED screens above, but it is fine for documents, web browsing and video. The Ryzen processor options handle everyday tasks well.

Pros: practical ports including USB-A and HDMI, comfortable backlit keyboard, lowest tier in this roundup, solid everyday performance.

Cons: FHD+ panel is dimmer than the OLED picks, pen sold separately, heaviest in this group at 1.68 kg.

Buy if you want the lowest tier attached-keyboard convertible with useful ports. Skip if you want an OLED screen or the lightest machine in this roundup.

Buying guide: keyboard feel, hinge and pen support

A touch screen is only half the story when the keyboard is attached, because you will type on it every day. The sections below explain what to check before you buy, from key travel and layout to hinge strength, pen support and the battery and weight trade-offs that come with a convertible body.

Keep this checklist open while you compare the seven picks above.

Start with the keyboard, since you will use it every day, then check the screen, then the pen. A laptop that types well and shows a clear screen will serve you better than one with a bigger battery and a keyboard you dislike.

Keyboard travel and layout

Key travel is the distance a key moves when you press it, and it matters more than most buyers expect. Convertibles in this roundup offer roughly 1.3 to 1.5 mm of travel, which feels comfortable for long typing sessions, while thinner detachables often offer less.

Check that the layout has a full row of function keys and a sensible arrow key arrangement, and prefer a backlit keyboard if you type in dim rooms.

Hinge design and lap use

The hinge decides how the laptop behaves in every mode, so it deserves a close look before you buy. A 360-degree hinge lets the keyboard fold flat behind the screen for tablet use, but it also means the keyboard faces down on a desk in tablet mode, so check that the keys disable automatically.

The Surface Laptop Studio 2 sliding hinge keeps the keyboard facing up in stage mode, which is better for drawing, but it adds weight. A stiff hinge holds the screen steady on your lap; a loose one wobbles when you tap the touch screen.

Pen support and palm rejection

Not every touch screen supports a pen, and not every pen is included in the box. Three picks in this roundup include a pen, while the rest sell it separately or only on select configurations, so confirm the exact listing before you buy. Palm rejection stops your resting hand from leaving stray marks while you write.

It works best when the pen and the screen are designed together, as with the S Pen and the Slim Pen.

Battery and weight trade-offs

Convertible bodies carry a small weight penalty for the hinge, and the picks here range from 1.24 kg to 1.97 kg. Battery capacity ranges from 58 Wh to 76 Wh, and the largest batteries belong to the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 and the Yoga 9i, so check the balance that fits your day.

A bigger battery usually means a heavier machine, so decide which matters more: all-day unplugged use or the lightest bag. Screen brightness also affects real battery life, so an OLED panel at full brightness drains faster than at half brightness.

FAQ about touch screen laptops with attached keyboards

Buyers usually ask the same three questions about attached-keyboard touch laptops: whether a convertible can replace a detachable, how long the keyboard lasts, and whether a pen comes in the box. The answers below are short and direct, and they apply to every pick in this roundup.

If your question is not covered, the buying guide above has the detail.

Can a convertible replace a detachable

Yes, for most buyers a 360-degree convertible replaces a detachable without giving anything up, because the keyboard stays attached and folds away cleanly. The folded-back keyboard is disabled automatically in tablet mode, so it never types by accident.

The only real trade-off is weight, since a convertible carries its keyboard everywhere, while a detachable lets you leave the keyboard behind and use the tablet on its own.

Do attached keyboards wear out faster

No, an attached keyboard does not wear out faster than a normal laptop keyboard, because it is the same mechanism. The keys are rated for the same number of presses as a clamshell laptop, and the hinge is the part that takes the extra stress from folding.

Hinges on the picks in this roundup are rated for thousands of folds, and the keyboard itself is protected by the same warranty as the rest of the machine.

Is a pen always included

No, a pen is not always included, and this is the most common surprise for buyers of touch screen laptops. Three of the seven picks in this roundup include a pen in the box: the Yoga 9i, the Spectre x360 14 and the Galaxy Book4 Pro 360. The rest sell the pen separately, so check the exact listing before you order.

Add the pen to your order if you plan to write or draw.

Conclusion

The best laptops with a touch screen and an attached keyboard are the 360-degree convertibles in this roundup, led by the Lenovo Yoga 9i 14 Gen 9, with the HP Spectre x360 14 and the Samsung Galaxy Book4 Pro 360 close behind. Pick the Yoga 7i or the Inspiron 14 2-in-1 for the same idea at a lower tier, or the Surface Laptop Studio 2 if you draw.

Check pen inclusion on the exact listing first.
