I bought a MS Surface laptop with the stylus thinking it may be good for drawing but I never found it to be very useful for drawing so just back to using the mouse.

Its been my experience that doping computer drawing (typically mechanical drawing) is best done with a mouse versus a stylus and tablet or touch screen. Those tools are great for a true artist that can pickup a pencil hand draw art freehand with strokes. If you are an artist like that, then it might be for you. Typical drawing is usually a combination of objects (rectangles, circles/ellipses and arcs) and combining objects like Fonts with shapes. Drawing thin freehand strokes will leave you with thousands of nodes that will need to be smoothed and joined to other strokes to cut with plasma .
I may look pretty on the screen for cut poorly .
