Hi
Would a laptop actually be useful for a mathematics degree. If so, would a normal PC be sufficient or a 2 in 1 convertible one be better?
There's obviously pros and cons to both, but is it actually worth spending the extra money for a laptop that you can write on?

The main pro in this context is the option to write handwritten formulae directly into digital notes. The con is you're likely going to be paying £100+ for convertibles with this functionality over an otherwise equivalent laptop. Whether it's worth it depends entirely on the value you attribute to digital note taking or whether you prefer to do it the old fashioned way if it means saving that cash or putting towards a better laptop (or something else entirely).

In terms of 2 in 1 vs regular laptop, as Gofre says this is really personal preference. There certainly are pros and cons, but it really comes down to whether those pros justify a £100 or so premium over a regular laptop? If you're getting on fine as you are now, it's probably not worth it.
