Just checking to see if any artistic community member can rec a good laptop that will be used for drawing/reading/writing only, no gaming whatsoever - that I can take to the library. Anyone who draws I'd be interested to know which one you like

i mean for pc's yeah, but not the same for lots of apps. the ipad basically functions as a big, very complicated phone and less of a pc (which works well for it for stuff like art/notes/and integrated stuff, but sucks for games)

my budget is £500 and i'm gonna get it second hand

i was looking initially before this thread at the samsung flex 2 and the other one i could get is surface book 2

surface book was released in 2017 and seems to have all the specs i need, but maybe concerns about longevity of it and its got a good resolution

samsung flex has the qled screen but its only 1080p but was released this year

dont really need to bother about specs in terms of 3D work/video work because i will just use my computer for that - this is more of an on the go thing. all the power and shit i will have covered with my main work station, but this is for quick nd rough work

idk if im sold on this apple shit though i don't really get it and i think i can do everything the same on the windows + more

You can 100% do more on windows than an ipad, apple's phone os is absolute garbage. Their mac os is a lot better than the phone one but doesn't support touch screens so wouldn't be good for drawing. I'd recommend the samsung flex.

think i've decided on splitting it like

350 for a laptop
350 for a wacom tablet/like thing - can get a cintiq - sounds better and i can use it with my pc

went to go see the surface stuff today and the specs were like too bad for something that expensive compared to this idea where i can use 3D software properly and shit iwth my pc

thank u everyone for ur help
