I've recently just treated myself to a new (well, refurbished but new to me) Cintiq 22" after going freelance.
I also draw a lot on my 12.9" iPad Pro (gen 1), I got it in 2016 and it's still going strong after daily use for almost 5 years.
As for my computer, I've been using my 27" iMac since 2011 and refuse to let it die on me.
I'm sure some of this comes down to the Apple Pencil nib sensitivity but I think the brush designers at Procreate are just really clever.
Design
On my computer I only use Photoshop for drawing...
Depending on the job I'll occasionally use Adobe Animate...
On my iPad Pro I use Procreate for drawing - I've never used digital brushes that mimic real traditional media so well.
Other
I attribute some success to the fact that I refuse to update my OS beyond Sierra anymore over fears that my perfect balance of apps and their current update will fall out of sync (it's fine, you can call me paranoid).
