I agree. This is my real laptop, the Lenovo Flex 5. I got it for $700, has a decent AMD chip and a touchscreen, comes with the pen and is pressure sensitive. Actually, the pen is just as good as Wacom, great for making art. And while the GPU is not that fast, I was able to use ZBrush and Unreal Engine (though Unreal would chug at full screen, the editor would work if you made the viewport window smaller). Apps like Photoshop, GIMP, Krita, etc. all worked perfectly and supported the pen. Probably the best deal for something like this.

Stadia is a lot better than people think. Most games run at 1080p 60 fps and if you pay for pro you can unlock 4K support (though not all games are full 4K or 60 fps, depending on the game). There is slight latency, but if you use the Stadia controller it is pretty good still and playable. Not as good as PC, but I would say not much worse than a console system. You can play on all sorts of devices, even your phone, or on Mac and Linux where the games don't have native ports. They have a large library, and big games like Far Cry 6 or Resident Evil 8 come out on day one. Though since I have a good gaming PC, I don't use it as my primary system. I have it hooked up on a projector and I also like to test it on lower end or low spec systems that can't game natively. Again, though, for people that can't afford a $2,000 PC (and even if you have the money, PC parts are hard to get right now) or the cost of a console (which are also hard to get) you can get Stadia for like $50 for the controller and play with quality that is about a GTX 1070 level machine. So not a bad deal.
