Should I get the Pixelbook?

I've been looking for a laptop with a pen for drawing.

And I've been thinking about getting a Pixelbook + pen but I'm not sure if I should get one.

Honestly, I would recommend a Lenovo Yoga as its cheaper and is Windows, not ChromeOS which gives you more flexibility on what program you want to use to draw.
I would say go for the highest model of the Yoga as you seem to have a high budget and would give you more power.

Not really worth it in my opinion, as I don't feel like the Chromebook is sufficient enough to run the software you might want to use. You're much better off buying a Surface or a Yoga 900 series at the $1000-1400 price point.

Honestly, He might use it on the move like some animators.
But I do get your point, It is a glorified tablet with a keyboard.

If you are just planning to just sit at your desk and do some drawing for some client or for yourself, I don't understand why you don't get an Huion Kamvas.

It would be better for your needs and it would be easier to deal with than a "Glorified tablet"

Hope I helped


Peace ツ
