touchscreen laptop

Finger-operated portable computer

A touchscreen laptop is a portable computer with a display that responds to finger gestures or stylus input, allowing users to tap, swipe, and pinch alongside traditional keyboard and trackpad use.

These often feature hinges that fold the screen flat or backward, converting the device into a tablet: I use my touchscreen laptop for sketching.
