Very confused whether to buy iPad 10th generation in Great Indian Festival

I have a 2014 i3 Lenovo running on Linux mint. I don’t want to buy another laptop as I need to spend Atleast 40k for a good brand laptop. Don’t want mac as it’s out of my budget. I use my laptop mainly for emails and occasional word excel work. Other than that browsing and media consumption plus viewing photos from external hard disk

Can I achieve the above with a iPad 10th generation? I am too guilty of spending money for this as I consider it a luxury item.

P.S: I don’t want to sell my old i3 and intend to keep it
