Hello, I made this thread because I'm in the middle of deciding whether I should go for a desktop or a laptop to meet my needs. I'll try to make this as detailed and easy to understand as possible.
I want to pursue a careeer in digital illustration so I want to teach myself with this.
I do play games mostly online games like Dragon Nest, Elsword, and would want it to also run games like PSO2, FFXIV, Aion, etc. I don't really play shooter games much.
I watch almost only anime and in 720p and or 1080p
I love big screens like a 17inch screen for a laptop at least. I could plug it into a larger screen anytime.
I love Procreate app in ipad. I currently have an ipad3 but I have a plan of replacing it with the Air because I may need the extra power and the design is beautiful - still this depends whether I would go for a laptop or a desktop. And then I would buy a stylus for it.
I switch places but I may need mobility to draw when bored. Although I probably would only play games when I'm not at home because at home is the only place I could concentrate a lot.
Given these, I made an outline to what my devices are gonna be if I choose one and if the other:
desktop + tablet(ipad air / probably cintiq13hd) or;
laptop + tablet(cintiq13hd / ipad air) or;
Surface Pro 3 - this is a great deal if it would run mmorpgs I mentioned above smoothly with the entry level or the i5 version
For now I would like to focus on whether to go laptop or desktop. Budget is 700$ - 900$ excluding the tablet
On my mind right now is
I want to play online games but I also want to make the most of my drawings. I was really thinking of a desktop and then an ipad air for drawing so I get to maximize gaming performance when it comes to budget and performance ratio but my dad would want a laptop so I could do paper works for him in the office but then again the paperworks can be done in ipad air so a lot of you would probably suggest a laptop by now and I can't decide.
So that's it guys. I would be really grateful to anyone who could help me.
Preferred brand is Asus xD
