So now that I'm producing more digital artwork than ever these days, it's became apparent that my Wacom Bamboo (Pen model, from 2009) graphics tablet that I got way back when is slowly but surely biting the dust after taking a beating all these years (It's scratched to shit lmao) so eventually I'll have to start looking for options to replace it, since it's one of the most important tools in that I use with my work, for example I don't REQUIRE my Mac Pro as I can simply use Sketchbook Pro with any other PC or Mac and that it's simply a preference, where as my graphics tablet is a requirement.
Sooo here are my options:

#1: Buy a newer equivalent Wacom model, like the newer Wacom Intuos models that my college has, the one with the same specs as mine is around £50.

#2: Save up a lot more money and buy a larger, high end Wacom Intuos (the ones that you can use as a trackpad), I'd buy a Cintiq in an ideal world but they are really, REALLY expensive.

#3: And it's just a thought, but since I'll never have enough money to buy a Surface Pro (even at £399), I've had the crazy idea of buying one of those old HP Touchsmart laptops with the swivel screens (HP TouchSmart TX2000 ideally) and they have a built in Wacom digitiser in the screen and come with a stylus pen, so ideally buy buying one of these I can get something that offers similar features as a cintiq but for the price of an intros (£120) and doubles as it's own computer as well, which is a pretty swell idea. you can find them second hand at a lot of places like cash converters and ebay has them super cheap.

I'm shooting for #3 ideally.

Any comments or advice would be appreciated uwu
