Yes, Windows tablets have touch screens.

Yes, you can also plug a keyboard into a tablet. IOS and Android are 
primarily touch screen interfaces. Using a keyboard with them is a bit 
different then it is on your Windows laptop. Typing into an edit field 
is pretty straight forward but using it to interact with the interface, 
such as finding and opening up apps is a bit different. Plugging a 
keyboard into a Windows laptop will give you more of a laptop like 
experience, especially with desktop applications.

I'm not saying one approach is better than the other, since IOS and 
Android have a lot to offer in addition to their keyboard support. There 
are also others who have more experience than I do with Windows tablets 
and using keyboards on IOS and Android tablets, so please listen to them.
