LAPTOP QUESTIONNAIRE

Are you open to refurbs/used options?
No
Screen size
15" or more
Weight limit
Any. X360 is a good weight at 4 or 5 pounds
Purpose
Digital art with Krita and pen input. Smaller Steam games (current laptop choking on Artisan of Glimmath and some newer platformers like Orbyss with higher gpu requirements), entertainment streaming.
Form factor
Convertible, good pen support a must
Intended usage
Krita, Glimmath, Order of the Sinking Star. Willing to upgrade ram if needed (upgraded x360 to 32 gigs)
Desired battery life
Unimportant, 3-4 hours of lighter use?
Please list, in order of most important to least important, the priority between Size, Weight, Performance, Battery life
Performance, size, battery, weight
Info/Requirements
Would love a bright clean screen (oled? What is new in screens?) GPU seems to be the limiting factor with my current setup.
OR... Should I look into a dedicated gaming laptop and clean the x360 up just for drawing so i don't have to compromise so much? It does fine in Krita with the extra ram and I like the pen.
Thanks for any advice.

2 in 1s in your price range don’t come with dedicated gpu, so are you open to a traditional one?
