Well, for your tasks, the difference between a tablet and a laptop will be only:
1. Large dimensions of the laptop.
2. It has a full keyboard by default.
3. The laptop screen has an aspect ratio of 16:9, which is more convenient when watching movies. iPads are 4:3, which means widescreen videos in full screen mode will be displayed on the screen with large horizontal black bars at the top and bottom.
Otherwise, iPads are lighter and more mobile. Well, as a compromise, you can look at laptop tablets - Windows hybrids with 11-12-inch screens and detachable keyboards.
So look at your tasks.
On my own behalf, I’ll add that, rather than taking an air 2019, it’s better to use a used pro 2017, they are the same in shape and size, but the Pro will be cheaper ($ 400) and it is technically better (120 Hz screen scan, speakers on both sides, sound quality he has better, more informative comparisons can be found on YouTube).
And the tablets are not very convenient to use in the prone position, they are too big for one hand and it is inconvenient to hold them for a long time. The laptop wins in this regard - you can put it on your stomach and set any angle of the screen.
Therefore, another compromise option: a used iPad mini 2017-2018 for mobility and reading news, social networks, YouTube ($200) and a used laptop 13'3 - 14 ”for movies and a larger screen if needed ($400) )))
