Moving back to the stylus, though, it has some of the same features as dedicated external styli. This means that an artist using this device will have a little extra boost when opening multiple files and juggling through various drawing apps. It benefits from performance cores and efficient cores. Under the hood of this Chromebook is a 12th-generation Intel Core i5-1235U CPU. It's a lot smaller than a separate pen and might work for every artist, but it sits safely inside the device for charging and storage. $729 at Best Buy $600 at Amazon $1000 at AcerĪ lot of the Chromebooks I have mentioned so far have external pen support, but the Acer Chromebook Spin 714 has a garaged stylus. It has great key travel and is very responsive. Other than that, the keyboard is excellent, too. You'll also get slight feedback when you drag and drop items. This haptic trackpad makes that easy, as you'll be able to click anywhere on the surface when in menus, or looking for files. If you're an artist, you know that you'll have to browse for files and search for files. Moving along, this Chromebook uses a haptic trackpad. My colleague spent a lot of time talking about his experience with the pen and other parts of the device in his review. It snaps to the side of the device to recharge. Do note the display also supports the included HP Stylus. Then, when they need to, an artist can convert the device over into a tablet or stand and tent mode and get drawing. It can be used as a laptop for more serious tasks like web browsing or scrolling through files.

Someone who is an artist can use it in so many ways. Starting first with the display, this is a fully convertible Chromebook.

It should also run most Android-based drawing apps without issue since this is an Arm-based chip, similar to what's in Android phones. That's not the fastest SoC, but the tablet has a 2000x1200 resolution screen too, so it’s a perfect media streaming machine when it’s engaged in tablet mode. The IdeaPad Duet 3 is one of the best budget detachable Chromebooks on the market, though it features a Snapdragon 7c Gen 2 under the hood and 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of eMMC storage. They tend to be a lot less bulky, although they may compromise on specifications. These detachable laptops differ from 2-in-1s, wherein you can entirely remove them from their keyboard and use them as a tablet. With all three pieces combined, the Duet trio forms a convertible altogether which is great for drawing. The third bit is a magnetically attached keyboard with a touchpad, which can flip up to cover the screen. The second is a gray fabric stand cover, a magnetically attached back panel that has a kickstand you can fold out to prop up the tablet on a desk. The one-pound aluminum alloy tablet is the first (and most important) piece. The IdeaPad Duet 3 Chromebook is really a trio of sorts, if you count its main components.

And, for personal audio, you'll need to buy Bluetooth headphones or use a USB-C to 3.5mm headphone adapter since there is no headphone jack.

Just the port selection is bad since you're limited to a single USB-C port. You can find USI pens for very cheap on Amazon and the screen and processor make this great for drawing. Still, if you want a larger canvas for drawing, it’s worth buying the USI pen to pair with the new Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5. Indeed, for the price, it would have been nice if Lenovo included the pen. One downside of this tablet is the lack of a USI pen in the retail box which I know artists usually look for. Lenovo also packed in the Qualcomm Snapdragon 7c Generation 2 processor which is smooth for running Android drawing apps and getting superior battery life. With the incredibly bright panel, working outside will also be enjoyable on the Lenovo Chromebook Duet 5.

You should be able to fit in a couple of windows for multitasking easily. On the other hand, if you need to get some work done on your tablet, the screen will have plenty of real estate for using the detachable keyboard with a touchpad. Compared to some of the other picks here, this is a fairly large tablet, so it might be awkward to use this tablet for reading or for extensive handheld use.
