Vector, writing = laptop
Photo editing and organizing, for me that's still laptop territory.
Generally as a creation tool the nod goes to the laptop.
Depending on how involved her art / photo editing is you'll still want a laptop with lots of ram, a better GPU, and drive space.
I've been hoping Apple would make a convertible digitized laptop.
They keep disappointing me.

Possibly the budget will extend to a MBP 15" but I rather doubt it. If she ever needs a chine with beaucoup horsepower, I'll build her a PC box.
I used a convertible laptop w/ touch screen for a few years. I really didn't like it at all. The OS UI is the problem. To be touch-suitable, the controls and actions need to be different from what they need to be KB/mouse-suitable. I don't think iOS or macOS have solved that. I don't know if Windows has solved that.
