With the growing popularity of 2-in-1 notebooks such as the Asus Transformer Book and Microsoft surface Pro,the market is saturated with touchscreen enabled laptops that have a swivel hinge and small form factor. However not every touch screen enable laptop has to be costly. In fact,many budget chromebooks also have touch screens on them and some touchscreen laptops can be found for less than 300 dollars. Of course you won’t be getting dedicated graphics and Intel core i series processors for less than 300 bucks, but at least you get a fully functional laptop that can also double up as a large tablet PC whenever you need it to. You should look for portability and build quality in a sub touch screen laptop under 300.
Processor and RAM configurations
Processor and RAM configurations will be quite similar across a given price range ,but you need a laptop that is both cheap and has a touchscreen that is responsive and reliable. The lid should be sturdy and the hinge, which is the most wek link in a swivel-type laptop should be good. After lot of research we came up with the best touch screen laptop under 300 dollars that scores high on both style and reliabilty.
It is the Asus Transformer Book Flip TP200SA laptop
For less than 300 dollars, the only other touch-enabled machine which compares to it is the HP Pavilion X2 Detachable 2 in 1. This Asus laptop sports a detachable 11.6″ IPS HD touch screen with 178 degree wide viewing angles. The entire computer is contained in the screen section of the laptop,and it can be detached to be used as 10.1″ Windows tablet. It comes loaded with Windows 10,the most touch optimized OS ever,and sports an Intel Braswell Atom CPU,clocked at 1.6 Ghz. The notebook has 4 gigs of DDR3 RAM,and a 64 GB ssd for super fast boot times and great performance. It’s also equipped with 802.11ac Wi-Fi. This is almost 3x faster than the typical 802.11n Wi-Fi.
The laptop looks and feels great with its metallic black finish, the touchpad is large and responsive, and the keyboard feels great. The display is the best of any sub 300 dollar touch enabled notebook despite its low resolution of 1366 by 768.
The crisp colors and wide viewing angles on the display make it stand out from the rest of the budget notebooks. It can be used in 4 different modes-regular, tent, stand and tablet. Weighing in at just 2.6 pounds, it is one of the lightest 2-in-1’s we have ever seen.
Overall, this laptop is highly recommended for anyone looking to buy a cheap, yet powerful touch screen laptop under 300.
