I've used Mobile Sheets on a Windows laptop for years. Works great. I've also used it on Android for years. Also works great there. Bandmates of mine use it on iOS as well. Works fine.
For a new purchase, I highly recommend skipping the 2-in-1 Windows laptop mainly due to cost and heft. I agree iPads are also quite expensive. But my Lenovo P12 Android tablet was well under $300 new and works great as a gig tablet as well for entertainment, checking email and surfing the net back in the hotel room or on a plane. It's also thinner and lighter than any 2-in-1. The only caveat is if you do a lot of outdoor gigs, the display is going to wash out in direct sunlight on any device besides e-ink. So you may want to consider that. I can usually manage by finding a shady spot.
