A touchscreen adds direct input for scrolling, annotating, and presenting, and a convertible hinge adds tablet and tent modes. It says nothing about ports, so the second filter is Thunderbolt 4 or USB4. Each of the five laptops below is sold with a touchscreen and has Thunderbolt 4 ports, as its maker or Amazon listing states them.
Memory, SSD, operating system, and bundle details come from the Amazon listing for each model, and the text says where a listing differs from the maker’s page.
Touchscreen Laptops Compared
The table gives each laptop’s screen, Thunderbolt 4 port count, memory and SSD, and pen support as the maker or the Amazon listing states them. A Thunderbolt port does not tell you what a particular dock or monitor will do, so check that accessory’s manual as well.

Buying Guide
1. Start with the touchscreen and pen support
Lenovo sells the ThinkPad T14 and P14s with and without touch. Both specification sheets list in-cell and on-cell 10-point multi-touch panels and a non-touch panel. The Amazon titles for both name touchscreens, so read the title of the listing you order. The Yoga sheet lists a 10-point multi-touch screen, and ASUS lists a touchscreen for the ExpertBook Ultra and an OLED touchscreen for the Vivobook.
Pen support differs by model. Lenovo states no pen support for the T14 and P14s, and it lists Yoga Pen options for the Yoga. ASUS lists stylus support for the Vivobook panel. ASUS’s ExpertBook Ultra page does not mention a pen, so treat pen input on that laptop as unconfirmed.
2. Count the Thunderbolt 4 ports, then the displays
Four of the five laptops list two Thunderbolt 4 ports, and the Vivobook lists one. Lenovo states support for up to four independent displays on the T14 and P14s, counting the laptop’s own screen, and up to three on the Yoga. ASUS says the ExpertBook Ultra supports up to two 4K displays. Lenovo lists HDMI 1.4b at up to 4K at 30Hz on the Yoga, so a 4K monitor on that port runs at up to 30Hz.
Read the dock’s own manual before you buy it, because the dock, cable, and monitors set the final result. The Thunderbolt 4 docking-station guide and USB4 hubs and docks guide cover accessory types, and a dock’s host requirements come first.
3. Choose 14 or 16 inches by where the laptop works
Weight separates the sizes. Amazon states a starting weight of 2.4 lb for the ExpertBook Ultra. Lenovo lists 2.80 lb for the T14 and 2.84 lb for the P14s. ASUS lists 3.97 lb for the 16-inch Vivobook, and Lenovo lists a starting weight of 4.23 lb for the Yoga.
A 14-inch laptop with an external monitor suits a desk that the laptop leaves often. If the built-in screen has to carry reading, annotation, or presenting on its own, the 16-inch Yoga or Vivobook gives more room, and the added weight is the cost. The list of Thunderbolt laptops shows other models if none of these fit.
4. Check the memory and SSD on the listing
The listing states its own memory and storage. The ExpertBook Ultra, T14, and P14s listings state 32GB and 1TB. The Yoga states 16GB and 1TB, and the Vivobook states 32GB and 2TB. ASUS’s Vivobook page lists 512GB and 1TB SSDs, so that 2TB SSD comes from the listing alone.
Compare the model code, memory, SSD, and bundle on the page you order from, and do not carry a figure over from another listing of the same model name.
5. Match the panel and Windows edition to the work
OLED and IPS panels appear in this list. ASUS lists a 3K tandem OLED panel for the ExpertBook Ultra with up to 1400 nits of HDR brightness, and an OLED panel for the Vivobook. The T14, P14s, and Yoga listings state IPS, at 500 nits for the P14s and 300 nits for the Yoga.
Windows 11 Pro comes with the ExpertBook Ultra, T14, P14s, and Vivobook listings, and Windows 11 Home with the Yoga. ASUS recommends Windows 11 Pro for business on its Vivobook page. If your workplace manages laptops with Pro features, check the edition on the listing before you order.
FAQ
Does a touchscreen laptop need Thunderbolt 4?
No. Touch input and Thunderbolt are separate features, and a touchscreen is useful for reading, annotation, and a convertible hinge even if the laptop never connects to a dock.
Thunderbolt 4 becomes relevant when you also plan to attach a dock, monitors, or fast storage. Each laptop in this guide states both a touchscreen and Thunderbolt 4 ports.
How many external monitors can these laptops drive?
Lenovo states support for up to four independent displays on the ThinkPad T14 and P14s, which is the laptop’s own screen plus three external monitors. The Yoga is listed for two external monitors, one over HDMI and one over Thunderbolt. ASUS says the ExpertBook Ultra supports up to two 4K displays.
A dock changes the result, so check its manual against the monitors you own. ASUS’s Vivobook page lists one Thunderbolt 4 port, and it lists display support on that port and on its USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port, plus HDMI 2.1.
Are the memory and SSD figures the same on every laptop with that model name?
No. Each figure here comes from the Amazon listing. ASUS lists 512GB and 1TB SSDs for the Vivobook TP3607SA, and the listing states 2TB.
Before ordering, compare the model code, processor, memory, SSD, and bundle with the page you intend to buy from.
Is OLED the better choice for a touchscreen laptop?
Not on its own. ASUS lists OLED panels for the ExpertBook Ultra and Vivobook, while the T14, P14s, and Yoga listings state IPS panels. Brightness differs as well: the Yoga and Vivobook listings state 300 nits, the P14s listing states 500 nits, and ASUS lists up to 1400 nits of HDR brightness for the ExpertBook Ultra.
Compare the panel type and the listed brightness for the room where the laptop will sit most of the day.
Can I use a pen on these laptops?
It depends on the model. Lenovo states no pen support for the T14 and P14s. It lists Yoga Pen options for the Yoga, and the listing’s box contents show no pen. ASUS lists stylus support for the Vivobook panel.
ASUS’s ExpertBook Ultra page does not mention a pen. If you plan to write or draw on the screen, choose the Yoga or Vivobook and confirm the pen before you buy.
Bottom Line
Choose ASUS ExpertBook Ultra for a light business laptop with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, Lenovo Yoga 7i for a 16-inch convertible with two Thunderbolt 4 ports, or ASUS Vivobook 16 Flip for a 16-inch OLED convertible with stylus support. Compare the memory, SSD, and bundle on the listing before you order.
