laptop or tablet for biomedical engineering

hello, I already have a old laptop which sort of works however I quite like the idea of keeping all of my course notes and diagrams digital and I'm also not sure what programs if any i'd need to run on my biomedical engineering course

I don't do this course but my brother does general engineering and he says a laptop is better as there's a lot of programmes you need to download that a tablet cannot handle. Also, he said if you're a faster typer than a writer that it helps to just write your notes directly onto a word document etc.
Personally, I do Biomed and I got a 2-in-1 laptop so that I can use it as a tablet if need be or a laptop if necessary. Hope this helps!

hi what 2-in-1 do you use?
