I run krita on a shitty old laptop and while the fans' spin speed makes it clear its having a rough job, it runs just fine. Almost never crashed either. And all payed softwares I gave a try(yaar haar) run even smoother.
I can only guess op is exagerrating for the sake of shitposting.

I've been using PSCS6 with no issue with a relatively ok laptop for years.
Intel Core I572000 2.5GHz.
6GB ram, then upgraded to 12, and now 16.
Intel HD 620

When it comes to laptops, what price range should I be aiming for something that'll work smoothly? I'm pretty tech illiterate.

[Anonymous No.4935357]

>>4935333
$500 - Lenovo IdeaPad 3
Ryzen 3 - 3500U (integrated Vega 8 Graphics)
Ram 8 GB (4 GB soldered, so technically you can have up to 20 GB RAM, but even then 12 GB RAM is enough for modern usage).
At this price point, this is the best you can get. Ryzen totally blown the fuck out intel with their iGPU.

When did I blame my tools? I just said that a computer capable of running modern drawing software properly is expensive. Never said my art is bad because of it. Learn how to FUCKING read.

ideal would be i7 and 16gb ram, anything over that is superfluous for still image making.

And thermal too, from what I know, Lenovo has good designs, Asus, not so. For 500 bucks price point, the other competitor is Acer, but from what my friends experience their built quality is poor. As for processor and ram, yeah, they're important too. If you want to use heavy GPU programs like blender, premiere pro, other video editing software, you better build a PC with dedicated GPU. But if you just want to draw using Clip Studio Paint, Krita, or animating using Adobe Animate, Lenovo ideapad 3 will deliver good performance. Oh, also by default those iGPU is allocated with 500MB VRAM, but you can set up in the bios to allocate your RAM to VRAM up to 2 GB (search on how to do it on youtube/google). So, if you want to play games, you better allocate 2GB of your RAM (from 8GB -> 6GB available for other tasks) to your VRAM.

I think digital is cheaper as long as you fill 40+ sketchbooks per tablet you go through. The entry cost is high but the upkeep is really low. This is unlike fucking ink drawing where every time I leave the art store I'm carrying 6 different colors of ink worth fucking nine quadrillion dollars because my lizard brain likes the pretty colors

>computer capable of running modern drawing software properly is expensive.

I responded with a example for why that is false because my tablet can do that just fine. I got because the app kept crashing on my phone.

Using art programs that require gaming computers implies you will settle for nothing less than the top program that is far more than you need unless you have already made it and need it for your art career that has a lot of demand for detailing individual skin pores. You do not need that much power. Slow down and settle down, because a fantastic tool in the hands of a amateur doesn't instantly boost your skills.

Getting a tablet and a great computer is basically required for art. Not having a great computer means not having enough history states, not being able to have dozens of tabs of reference open and not being able to work at high resolutions. It means that you won't be able to run heavier programs like photoshop or many of the 3d art programs. In essence, it's a big draw back in terms of your performance and development as an artist.

[Anonymous No.4935975]

You don't need a great computer, a 6700k and about 32 gigs of ram will get you where you need to go. That's like $800 tops if you throw on a decent gpu.

If your computer is a potato just use paint tool sai. You can run it fast on a PC from 2001.

In america you can just get a used 4-core i5 office PC from fleabay for just $100 that will run anything fine. You don't need a "gaming PC" when most drawing software like CSP doesn't even use the GPU that much.

[Anonymous No.4938718]

just buy 2 16 gig sticks you dipshit, unless your motherboard is retarded it should support at least that much.

No, only gaming pc.
The non-balls-to-the-wall Gaming monitors tend to compromise on color accuracy in favor of refresh rate and response time.
