Touchscreen laptop for dental school?

[SaeWat]

Hello dental students! I am looking up laptops to buy for dental school and I was wondering whether classes in dental school require a lot of drawing of diagrams and such (requiring a stylus and at touchscreen), or do you guys mainly just type everything in class and that will suffice. Thanks!

I've sat in a few dental classes and most people have the regular macbook and draw any diagrams needed on a notebook.... of course that's for the gunners. Majority of the class browse YouTube or Amazon while in class and watch the lectures at home during their own time.

I also would recommend not using a touchscreen/stylus type laptop because the stylus lags behind a little and is difficult to use when you aren't really used to using a Surface or anything. Pens and paper work best in my opinion.
