I'm thinking about getting a laptop

I need a laptop with a tiltable keyboard and a stylus digitizer built into the screen for digital art, so the first thing that came to my mind was the Microsoft Surface lineup. But those would cost me an arm and a leg so I've looked at few other options:
First thing would be the Lenovo Yoga 530, since it comes with a Ryzen 5 2500U, 8GB RAM, 256GB NVMe SSD configuration, for $780, excluding the stylus.
Second would be an HP Envy x360 15-cp0004no, which has fairly similar specs to the first one but a 15.6" display and a 1TB HDD in addition to the SSD, for about $1040, without a stylus.
There are some others as well.. but anything that goes above $1000 is kind of pushing it.

I honestly can't decide what kind of SBC to purchase.

I like the tinkerboard due to the 2GB of ddr3 and better graphics cores so imo the pi just seems really limited by having only 1GB of ddr2.
The asrock board I listed had the highest performing gemini-lake CPU, but they do have another with a different layout:

the pi has plenty with 1GB, surprisingly. as wel as the pi usually accepting a nice OC. besides, while on paper the kinkerboard's rockchip is faster, in most real world scenarios it'll lag behind.
and asrock has like.. 10-ish or so different boards i think. if i recall the J5005 was the fastest out the bunch tho. do watch out with ram compatibility.

I did find some adata ram that has almost the exact same serial as that on the QVL list: https://www.prisjakt.nu/produkt.php?p=3605045
The only difference seems to be a single letter, AD4S2133W4G15-B on the QVL list with the linked ram being AD4S2133J4G15-R.
