Anons is it worth it to upgrade to a touchscreen laptop? I've been using a dinosaur HP laptop and 12 year old wacom tablet forever, I wanted something faster and less clunky.

Any good artist laptop that won't break the bank? Or should I just get a newer wacom and call it a day?

up to you. don't get a stylus that's heavy, you'll likely get rsi and stuff later if you do. get one with 8000 levels of pressure sensitivity, screen or not doesn't matter, it's preference. my school had huge cintiqs and i still liked working on my intuos medium more, so i hooked it up to the cintiq and used it as a monitor lmao.

i might get a cintiq a long time from now, but idk. they're just awkward to use unless you have them placed perfectly.

wacom is the best i've used out of every single tablet provider, though, but it's been a couple years since i tried like, the surface.

bro try and be more openminded.
I hate apple and ios but I have to admit it's been the best digital drawing experience I've had as someone who dislikes digital drawing. Literally only apple product I will own

thanks man, I'll keep that in mind. Interesting about the cintiq, I was hoping to upgrade to a 13 or 15 inch drawing screen, right now I have a 4x6 tablet and it's hell, I think I'd like to have such a big drawing surface

How much did you all pay for the iPad? It looks like the pro with the 12.9in screen is $1.1k+ ... at that point I wonder if I'm not better off getting a new HP and huion display tablet...

I hear the non-pro is good as well since it still uses the same pen.
I got the pro cause I had extra money to burn and didn't want to get turned off from drawing more often because of the extra space between the sceen to pen on the non-pro version
imo if you can't tell the difference in store go for the regular version or buy used

Get a thinkpad (they even have a cheap ass 10" if you're that much into budget and will last for a long time) and a secondary monitor with high ass color range plus a wacom intuos, you can skip the monitor if you think that's too much to spend.
