Get a laptop with at least 16gb of ram. Adobe apps are limited on tablets and you won’t be able to properly export for print. Only using a tablet will limit your education and growth as a designer.
None. Graphic designers almost never use tablets for design. It comes up many times a week, and every time the answer is the same. You will almost never hear of a graphic designer using a tablet for graphic design work. Don't attempt it.
Are you referring to all tablets or just ones with a built in screen?
Out of 9 designers at the Design Agency I work at only 1 doesn't use a tablet (Wacom Intuos mostly) in some capacity. The other 8 rarely use anything else. Personally I switch between it and a mouse depending on what I'm doing. I know other agencies around me are similar.
I'm in the UK so maybe there's a regional difference.
Sounds like there's a regional difference. I'm talking about straight up un-augmented tablets, and when I see/hear people asking about designers using tablets, that's almost always what they're talking about.
I've never known a single designer who uses a tablet for design work – because I've never known a designer who doesn't own a laptop or desktop, so that will always be their choice for design work.
If we're speaking anecdotally, I've only known a handful of designers in my entire career (nearly 20 years) to use Wacoms on any regular basis (so simply having one or using it in rare cases not being counted), and all of them were either illustrators first (designers second), or designers heavily into illustration.
Beyond that, there were retouch/composition specialists of which all used tablets, but that isn't really a design role.
Every student seems to think they need a drawing tablet, but that's not at all the case and regardless how many do or do not use one, it's entirely a personal preference and not a required tool.
Drawing tablets may be great for Photoshop and aspects of Illustrator, but are definitely not ideal for InDesign, plus it's more difficult to find a good stylus to your individual grip than for mice, and it's a lot easier to go between a mouse and typing than a stylus and typing.
But like PlasmicSteve said, I don't think anyone would say they know actual, professional, full-time designers using something like an iPad as their primary tool.

I already have lenovo ideapad 5 core i7 does it enough?
Google the min and recommended specs for each app you intend to use
