Differences between laptops
Laptop models differ not only in terms of performance and price. For example, we also look at whether a laptop is equipped with a touch screen with stylus or touch-enabled display.
TouchScreen with stylus
These laptops are mostly so-called "convertibles" or "2-in-1" devices. They can be used as a normal laptop with keyboard, but also as a tablet. These devices usually have a small stylus in the device itself, which can be used to operate the touch screen.
