Are there really any dos or don'ts of buying a laptop that will mainly be used for drawing and animating? (Maybe light gaming, but that's definitely not as important.) Any specific recommendations brand-wise?
I have $340. However, I feel like it's time to replace my Wacom Bamboo with an Intuos. I could always wait on this and get it later, though. Or I could just hold off on all of this altogether and save up for something better, if needed. Thing is, I'm going to be away from my PC for a few months with plenty of time to draw and no laptop to do it on is all.
I use Manga Studio 5, and will be getting Flash eventually.
Been eyeing up stuff like this:

And this one especially. (It's on sale as of posting):

Buying that last one would mean holding off on the Intuos (which I may or may not be able to get sometime during that trip??? It's iffy.) But like I said, I already have a tablet.
Thanks, artbros.
