hay guys i want a laptop with a drawing pad that can do three things well. 1. Play small games at decent settings (Ex: Rocket league, Dota 2, csgo, etc) 2. The drawing bad is important, so the best one that can fit. 3. It needs to be able to handle light programming/ video editing (very light). also a camera with good quality would be nice, but idc if it doesn't have a good one my price is $1,100. thanks for help.

Take a look at this list and check out one of the Lenovo ThinkPad Yogas. The 460 or 260 each are fine, but they are different display sizes. They have active digitizers and fold into a tablet mode, and they both have high quality IPS displays. In addition to that, they'd make great machines for programming...

It needs to have an active digitizer? Is that what you mean by drawing pad?

You could get a Wacom tablet on the side of any machine to do the drawing if that would work for you. That would open up a significant amount of possibilities.

As will be all laptops that fit your needs. Tech doesnt come cheap. And sometimes you just gotta pay up.

That's not true. A Surface Pro 4 and ThinkPad Yoga 460 both would do the job within that budget.

They have active digitizers and fold into a tablet mode, and they both have high quality IPS displays. In addition to that, they'd make great machines for programming, as they have the high quality ThinkPad T series keyboards that have great key travel and are easily the best keyboards on the market.

To keep it under budget, you can also use eCoupon "SAV15THINKCENTRE" to knock an extra 15% off the price.

Alternatively, one of the Microsoft Surface Pro 4's would work great too, but they aren't nearly as good for programming due to the shallow keyboard TypeCover that you have to buy separately. They also climb up in price really fast without getting a whole lot more in specs out of them.
