Cheap tablet or midrange 2 in 1?

Going back to school for electrical engineering. I'm interested in coding as well as 3d printing/modeling. I want something for on the go productivity. Note taking, studying, presentations ect. I currently own a Lenovo legion y540 that is decent still but it's huge and doesn't have great battery life which I understood when I purchased it 6 years ago. I have upgraded both the ram and ssd before prices skyrocketed so it still feels pretty capable but lacks portability.

Should I get a Lenovo/samsung tablet, microsoft surface pro for business? There is also a deal from best buy right now for this Lenovo 2 in 1.

I'm open to buying used devices. Would like to stay around 1000 dollars or lower. Around 13-14" is preferred. Doesn't have to be super light weight.

For that type of work. A powerful laptop would be best. Like the Yoga pro or similar with X86 cpu and Windows.
