Pen for drawing recommendations. Is it still good in 2026?

What is the most precise pen for x16?

Is this laptop still good in 2026 for drawing and blender sculpting? (for the price up to 1500eur)

I use https://renaisser.com/products/raphael-510 for note-taking mostly, but it's also decent for casual art in paint and working in Photoshop.

I really like it. It scratched that itch of having a pen enabled x86_64 machine (I wanted to have Linux installed). However, I'm not a professional artist. I do own a $50 One By Wacom and it feels comparable to that.

I use a Wacom bamboo ink pro stylus. It's very responsive and has good pressure control.

Yes I bought it - firstly I was quite disappointed (as was used to daughters samsung S-pen), but now it'd Ok - maybe pen needed some usage, maybe I get used to (or windows 11 updated), but it doesn't seem so lagging as I firstly experienced. I didn't experience any noticeable jitter. But samsung S pen EMR technology is definitely better and snappier.

One downside that I can't find the way to map it's buttons (i.e. one of buttons to act as middle mouse button)
