I'm buying a laptop to enable me to learn and use affinity designer for illustrations. 

Is a 360 degree, 2in1, touchscreen laptop better to use than one without 360 degree?

Can you draw with a stylus in affinity designer on a Laptop?         Thank you.

Laptop make and model would help so that people who may have it can give you a thumbs up or down.

In general I'd say yes it should be ok but give the info asked and see what other feedback you get.

 

Oh and change the title of this post to reflect the question, it helps when people search, Ter isn't a very searchable term.

I recently bought an Acer Spin 360 laptop and it works very well. I use it as a normal laptop, connected to a 27" monitor (HDMI) or as a tablet. And it's pretty fast with a decent processor and an SSD drive.

The stylus that came with it works with Affinity Designer. It draws and reacts to pressure.

I particularly like the fact that it runs the full version of Affinity software as a tablet, not the cut down iPad versions.

Thank you for your helpful replies. I am following the prices of laptops. The ones that stand out for me are:

HP ENVY x360°,15.6", WITH THE FOLLOWING:

AMD RYZEN 5, 2in1, 1 TB HDD & 128 GB SSD.

AMD RYZEN 7, 2in1, 1 TB HDD & 256 GB SSD. 

INTEL  CORE i5 2in1, 1TB HDD & 128 GB SSD.

I intend to illustrate my own books and my present laptop is too old for that function.
