Laptop Advice?
6 months ago
Those of you who use a laptop and the kind of external drawing tablet you plug into it (you know like usb cord, not like a tablet with a screen) : what kind of laptop do you have, and do you like it? Would you recommend it?
I've been needing a new laptop for years since mine broke way back, and I've had a few I've been looking at, but they're so expensive and I'm wary of getting one that sucks for running art programs, streaming, video editing, 3d stuff, etc. I have a wacom usb tablet already that I got as a gift a few years ago, so I'd like to use that with whichever laptop I get. I use Medibang for my drawing program currently.
It seems like anything decent for RAM and good screen colours etc. and decently future-proof runs between $1,000 - $2,000 USD which is... OOF... But if that's genuinely worth the investment I'd rather suck it up and aim for that than get some $500 junk that lags to death or dies in two years?
No one in my irl circles knows much about laptops or uses them for anything more than like, writing simple word documents and watching youtube, so I have no advice beyond the internet here lol ^^'
FYI before anyone says it, a regular PC (either buying pre-built or building my own) is just flat-out not an option for me and my living space. I don't wanna get into why. It just has to be a laptop lol.
But anyway yeah, if any of you have suggestions, I'd be very appreciative!!! Because drawing on my phone is killing me lmao c':
