Planning to buy myself a convertible laptop (to use for typing and drawing) for christmas. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I don't think you can buy it anymore, but I LOVE my Dell Inspiron 16 7630+ 2-in-1. It's got a decent processor and hardware (Intel Core i7, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, etc) but what I really love is the screen: 3880X2400 resolution, 16:10 aspect ratio, OLED, and 16" of 4k+ luxury. It even came with a powered stylus.

If you like doing detailed drawing you'll want at least a QHD (2560X1440) resolution.

Depends on your budget. I am super happy with my microsoft surface pro. It's not cheap but it works well with clipstudio, has a sensitive pen and it's easy to take with you. It's also nice for writing

Is windows surface the full name?

Oh, I am stupid. Its Called Microsoft surface pro. Changed it now in the original post. There are different versions of them. Mine is one of the first of this series and it still works well ( ,I think its over 6 years old now)

I loved my Surface Pro as well (mine was a Pro 8), but they're not great for writing on. I have big hands and needed a decent sized keyboard. It was great for drawing on though - far more portable than this 2-in-1 that I'm using, though it did lack real estate. I think the screen was around 12-13" maybe?
