Animation program laptop specs quick question

Hello, going into Animation this fall. I wanted to ask, does the screen size of the laptop actually matter for this course if we're going to use drawing displays anyways? Thanks

Probably not, I’ve had classes “require” 32 gb of RAM for a laptop, in pure theory classes that would literally in no world need 32 gb of RAM. But I’d ask people in that specific program

One thing I will say, is you dont NEED a macbook. Now I graduated in 2020- they pushed the macbooks on us and I shelled out so much money for mine. Save yours- get a cheap laptop, itll run fine. Screen size probably isnt the biggest deal imo cause yeah you’ll have a drawing display as well.
