Apple computers all agree to hate me, and I've even broken friends' iPods and iPhones before so... I have a curse.
tldr; buy a mid-tier gaming laptop
I'm a power over name kind of person, where if it has the right hardware, it's a go. Generally means I ignore Dell, Gateway, and other "big brand" names. Laptops are harder to customize and as such cannot last as long. My old laptop is a 16" ASUS from 8 or so years ago I got for 300$ ish, and the only way to get an actual upgrade in hardware (talkin' RAM and CPU, both of which are vital to drawing digitally for the programs to run efficiently) was to dump another 300 or 400 into it - also means a better graphics card. So my second laptop now is a Lenovo ideapad 330 that was on sale at Costco, 2yr warrenty, 90 day return, and free tech support for any issues I have. Just after I bought it, Lenovo released another laptop to their site and Costco, that is a slightly different version of mine (so available this year and likely right now), and it costs 1200$ or so. The one I got was on sale, which I now know was because Lenovo had put it on a sale during it's last two weeks before releasing the next iteration.
My other laptop I had before my ASUS was a Dell and let's just say BSOD happened too frequently for comfort.
Keep in mind that if this laptop is strictly for drawing you can ix-nay the shitty software you do not and will never need - like axe out anti-virus shit and other software. All you need to be up and running are your tablet drivers and your art programs. If you can run your art programs without hitting max of the CPU allotted then you're golden. That was an issue with my old desktop dell- even though it had decent RAM, it's CPU would cap my SAI files to 2000x2000 pixels at 300dpi. ASUS could do 4kx4k and then it would hit max but still run pretty well - the dell would flat out refuse to save and shut down the program.
So far the Lenovo's been fine - but tech support on it has the same competency level of Dell's (not good).
Final note on my Lenovo is that it's monitor is super bright, which is good and bad for art/eyes, but the BEST thing is that it's color tone hue adjustment is highly customizable. I was able to tweak the hues and what not to be almost the same of my ASUS so the adjustment is easier (i still draw on both).

It's no longer available, but you should be able to look at it's specs. Lenovo marketed it as a gaming laptop (lower end of the mid-tier quality), and Costco marketed it as a sturdy everyday laptop lolz
