laptop ba talaga need?

hello! i am 20F, currently studying pa (college student). i am finding a online job that can meet my daily expenses and monthly rent for my dorm because my tatay and nanay is not okay financially and i am willing to work at the same time study. the problem is, i only have an ipad right now-- i have a laptop pero very lag na masyado. is it okay to use ipad for work or need talaga laptop? and i am looking for work that will accept my situation
