So I‘m planing on getting a new Laptop for drawing and maybe some simple 2-D animations with my Wacom Cintiq 16 tablet and CSP since my old one is basically unusable at this point.
I don’t really plan on spending too much money on it since it’s only for that one purpose and that’s just a side hobby. My main question would be if I should buy a refurbished upper class model like for example this: Dell Precision 7550 | i7-10850H | 15.6"
16 GB | 512 GB SSD | FHD | Webcam | Nvidia Quadro T2000 | Win 11 Pro | DE from 2020 for \~500€
Or a brand new lower/ middle class model in the same price range.
If you say the refurbished one would be good how long do you think I could use it before it gets too old as well and if you say a new one I’d love some suggestions.
I have absolutely zero knowledge in this area tbh.
Many thanks in advance
