      Hi, everybody!!! I hope you're all doing well.

      Just recently, there's a guy here in our place who's selling his cintiq 27qhd at a very low price. When he told me about it, I was very excited. He's moving in a couple of weeks hence, the rush. That's all great but my main concern is that will I be able to use the cintiq 27qhd on my laptop. My laptop does not have high specs. It only has a core i5 with an AMD radeon graphics card. Will that suffice?

      if not, what should I use instead?

      Thank you all for your help.

        Yes but you may need some adaptors to plug it in, it is really just an extended monitor with an impute device Photoshop is what needs the computing power.

          @rcartwright yeah, I think the seller also included the adaptors with the package. I saw a video on youtube once where a Cintiq 27qhd had poor display/resolution because of his computer's old graphics card. Will that happen to me as well? I'm really new to all of this. Thank you.
