Do you guys have any good recs for laptops? I'd like to have something around 15" I can take out if I want to work away from home. ;-; Also a nice portable non-screen tablet rec to go with it. I don't want an ipad/mac or surface tablets. Mainly just needs to run clip studio smoothly- - ThreadSky

I heard the msi laptops are okay

For non screen tablets, if you want to go all out and get something nice I would highly recommend the Huion Dial 2. If you want something that's affordable, compact, and works reliably I would recommend the Xp Pen Art Deco LW.

Plus if it can run Blender and some games lol

Do you have a preference for where you buy it and a price range? (I gots a drs app I'm running to but I love looking at tech so I'll send some recs when I'm back home.)

Under 1.5K would be stellar but I can push a little more than that if it's super worth it

At that budget, Asus ROG Zephyrus or Lenovo Legion laptops are a strong bet. I got a Legion that was well specced around 1.7k—would be cheaper with a 4060 GPU over the 4070 I got, and I added my own RAM for 64GB. I think Asus makes a Zephyrus G15 which would fit your size preference.

Ooo ty, I'll also keep an eye out during black friday 🙏

I would also like to vouch for the Lenovo Legion! I've been using the Slim 5 14" AMD for a year and have used it as my primary computer since August.
It can handle my 100+ layer CSP projects fine (although my canvases are small) and you can game and stream from it - though not at highest settings.

No prob. I believe the Lenovo Legions are a bit better with color spaces, but that might've changed with Asus. I got my old one back in 2020 more for portability (13") and 1440p resolution over brightness & color.

for non screen drawing tablets i am a fan of the wacom intuos https://www.wacom.com/en-us/products/pen-tablets/wacom-intuos

Im usually not a wacom fan but the non screen tablets have never given me issues and i used to use them for many many years before i changed to my screen tablet!
