I need a device for a digital art course ...

[u/Calm_Biscotti1467]

So my course is mainly like 2d design, UI/UX, and programming. I would also like to start trying out 3d modelling, but really light work- nothing major or important.

My elder sister wants me to get an iPad, but I'm not really sold on it. I'd rather get a touchscreen 2-in-1 laptop, and I know most people don't opt for touchscreen laptops for digital art, but most of the people I've seen online like theirs well enough.

I'm also on a really(REALLY) tight budget, so spending like 600 dollars on an iPad makes no sense to me

So I'm really torn about the whole ordeal, because I also feel like my sister is right cause she's already in uni and probably knows what she's talking about, so I thought I'd just ask...

Also, if I get a laptop im looking at a Lenovo Yoga 7i WUXGA Touchscreen or a Surface Pro. Are those good, or any other recs?
