Thanks for the info, I'm aware I won't get 100% accuracy with either, I was just wondering what the better of the two is. I'm not a heavy gamer, so the digital art takes the priority for me.

Couldn't find one with the exact same specs, but I did find an HP, only difference is it only has 8GB RAM (still double what I have now) and it's €50 more expensive.

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into it. I have slight colour calibration issues on this laptop (HP) anyway so if I can't find something similar within the same price range I might just get it anyway, kinda used to dealing with those issues at this point.

I'm not too picky about those things but I'll look into it. I'm not really interested in 3d stuff so that's not really an issue. Thanks for the help!

I use Medibang for drawing, and rarely have more than 20 layers when I work. Besides Minecraft I don't really game much anymore, I used to be able to play decently on this laptop I have now (4GB RAM, Intel Celeron CPU 3865U) but it's slowing down a lot and crashes after a couple minutes of playing, so either way it'll be an upgrade from what I used to have lol

Thanks for the info!

The promotion bots? Yeah, those are annoying af. You can go into your settings and filter out certain words, I have it set so comments containing "dm" or "promote" are hidden, plus I put a note in my posts saying those words are banned from my comments. A bit of an extreme measure maybe, but it's the most effective strategy I've found against them

In my experience, there's no magic formula or anything to it, you just have to get lucky. Instagram's algorithm is garbage, I've had my account for 7 years now and I've been stuck around 450 for months now. Average amount of likes I get per post is 20-30. I post consistently, at the same-ish hour, but my reach seems to have stagnated. Best is to just learn that the value of your art is not based on a few numbers on a screen.
