The Microsoft Surface Book 3 is an innovative device that shares the versatility of a laptop and a tablet. Packing an Intel Core i7 processor and GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics (with 4GB VRAM), it combines both speed and power to handle a range of different gaming demands.

The 13.5-inch display is a highlight feature of the MSB 3. Distinctively, it can unclip from the laptop body and convert into a standalone Tablet. This makes it ideal for those who plan on putting their feet up on the couch and playing some “laid-back” Android games.

It’s should be noted that when the display is detached from the main chassis, you won’t be able to take advantage of the discrete GTX 1660 Ti GPU. For this reason, to play more depending games, both halves of the laptop have to be locked together as one.

Fortunately, this isn’t really a problem, as the Surface Book 3 has an intelligent “dynamic fulcrum hinge” for a full 360° range of motion. Due to being quite stiff, it’s capable of multiple positions in which the screen can be held. These include; “folded”, a “V” shape, or a backward “L”.

Apart from the CPU and GPU, the SB3 comes equipped with 32GB of DDR4 RAM and a 1TB PCIe SSD. It also includes two excellent 5MP/ 8MP HD webcams. The front-facing webcam has an authentication feature “Windows Hello” that lets you cleverly unlock the device.

Is it Worth Buying a Touchscreen Gaming Laptop?

The worth of buying a touchscreen gaming laptop depends on your use for it. If the touchscreen feature is something you plan on using often, such as for graphic design or specific games, then this is a worthy investment.

However, if you just need a laptop for traditional computer gaming, you can save yourself some money by opting for a gaming computer without a touch screen.

This leaves you room to get a higher-quality processor or graphics card, and you won’t allocate as much battery or memory to touch screen functions you rarely use.

Due to Android developers designing games with a touchscreen already in mind, touchscreen gaming laptops work especially well for mobile games. Angry Birds is one example, which requires you to flick the bird in a direction. On these specific games, you’ll experience much greater precision and response.

Moreover, touchscreens can be easier to use in certain situations, such as casual use and scrolling across google maps. They can be easier for certain people or age groups, too, especially for children who have not yet learnt to navigate their way around a QWERTY keyboard.

Manufacturers put a lot of work into the touchscreen of their gaming laptops. Razer, Dell, and Asus touchscreens are all brilliant with high refresh rates and low response times. Compared to a non-responsive LED panel, you can expect just as high a baseline for graphics quality.

How to Choose a Touchscreen Gaming Laptop in 2024

Choosing a touchscreen gaming laptop goes beyond picking the highest rated option out there. You need to make sure it has specifications capable of gaming.

Processor and Graphics Card

You have two main options for either processors or graphics cards.

Intel and AMD provide CPUs with the capacity for higher performance, and a gaming laptop should have an Intel Core i7 or AMD Ryzen 7 or higher.

A touch screen gaming laptop needs a dedicated GPU to handle the graphics load. Nvidia and AMD are the most popular.

Display

Expect a touch screen gaming laptop to have a smooth screen that allows swiping.

For gaming, you want a larger display (usually around 15.6 inches) with higher resolution. At 1920 x 1080, the graphics quality should be high enough for cleaner, sharper images.

Price

You might find a touch screen gaming laptop around $1,000, but expect to pay closer to $1,500 or more. This extra feature costs a pretty penny, with high-quality touchscreen gaming laptops easily reaching $3,500.

The cost also depends on the CPU and GPU, as well as any other features.

Storage and Battery Life

For a gaming laptop, aim for at least a 256 GB SSD, ideally with an NVMe connection. SSDs, particularly NVMe, move data much quicker than SATA SSDs or HDDs.

You can also look for blended storage options, such as an NVMe for your operating system and a SATA SSD for storage.

You want higher battery life in general, but keep in mind that your touchscreen features will draw much more energy than expected.

Features

Get the most out of your touch screen gaming laptop by looking for features such as stylus compatibility and hand gesture capabilities.

For gaming laptops, ‌look for higher or upgradeable RAM. Most come with at least 4GB, but you want 8GB or higher.

Another key laptop feature is an integrated webcam, ideally 1080p or higher. This lets you stay connected without plugging up an external camera.

Connectivity and I/O Ports

Make sure the touch screen gaming laptop you choose has the ports you need. Most users get away with at least 1 USB C, 1 USB A, and a microphone headset jack. 

Gaming works better with an Ethernet connection, and Bluetooth capabilities make it easier to connect wireless hardware like gaming mice or headsets.
