Do you know if my laptop will work with any Wacom AES 2.0 pens?

I lost the pen for my Gram, and contacted customer support to find out the model number/where to buy a new one. The information they gave me is as follows: Description: Accessory Assembly Specification: Luce A KOREA/USA/SPAIN/JAPAN/GERMAN WINDOWS 10 Wacom Active Stylus Pen Package(KC, FCC, IC, CE, VCCI), Quanta P/N(Assy) : ADDP0201000, Wacom P/N(Assy) : ESP-201-21A-5 Part No. AAA30280601 Additionally, they sent me this link to buy a new one: https://encompass.com/item/13062169/LG/AAA30280601/ $226 for a new pen seems outlandish to me. Unfortunately, I can't find this pen anywhere, does anyone know 1. where to get it for cheaper or 2. if the Wacom technology in my laptop is compatible with any other Wacom pens, and if so, which ones? Thanks.

Budget (including currency): 1500-ish USD Country: United States of America Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: General Gaming/college setup Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): Current rough draft is here, though its been years since ive been any good at this: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/Slytthus/saved/p4jYNG Friend wanted help building a computer, figured this was a good place to start. Needs a kbd and a monitor, and some cheap speakers, but nothing else. Thoughts? Upgrading from a gaming laptop, main goal is to "not burn my wrists" and also some of the hardware is getting pretty worn out (battery puffing, processors thermally degrading, etc.)

Sick, thx. Sounds like 4 cores is still the standard for gaming, but other programs have picked up a little more on using more than that for multitasking since I've been away?

Thoughts on a 3300X instead of the 3600? Looks to be cheaper and higher clocked at the cost of 2 cores... When I last paid attention 4 cores seemed like the standard, is that still the case? Or is it worth to have 6?

The PSU is B+ tier on the forum's tier list, which is about what I was shooting for, any reason in particular you don't like it?

Fair enough, ty

Did you meen 3200 speed RAM? 3600 seems excessive

Budget (including currency): $1000ish Country: USA Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: Gaming mostly, and some software development. Other details Here's the parts list I cooked up, however seeing as this is my first time designing a rig in years, I wanna get some opinions here and see what I may have missed. What are people's thoughts on this build? I want a 2000 series card for the video codec, and MicroATX or smaller is the preferred form factor, this case is about as big as I'm willing to go.

Yeah, I know, but there do look to be a few things out there, was just curious if anybody knew of anything worth recommending.

Looking for something small, something that fits inside a 6x12x16 carry-on. Anybody have anything they recommend?

Sick, thanks.

MSI Motherboards I'm finding that are microATX and support B450 are all in the $200 range, do you think something from Gigabyte would work? I was thinking maybe this one

I'm currently designing a build for the first time in years, and I am encountering an issue on PCPP where I am being told that some motherboards with older chipsets(B350, A320) may require a BIOS flash, and therefore an older CPU, to support a newer CPU. Is there any way to know which will and which won't? And/or, a way to get around this? I've heard of companies sending loaner CPUs, or of motherboards that can flash without a CPU... How do I handle this? Not really looking to spend a ton on a mobo RN.

Yeah, that's about how I got into it in the first place... Understanding this all again is so weird EDIT: Also remembering how to use this forum
