Hello!!

Soon I'll need to make expenses (fiscal issues) and I'm thinking of buying a tablet pc, but I would like one where I can draw in photoshop, as I'm used to doing this with my wacom (for sketching on the train).

Does anyone have any experience with tablet pc's? Do these exist with pressure-sensitive screens? And is this comparable to a wacom tablet? Or is it still a hapdash substitute?

All hints, advice and recommendations welcome!
Thomas

Hi!

I have a Toshiba M-200 TabletPC. It does have a pressure sensitive stylus. Also, it runs at 1400 by 1050. (Nice having a PC > 1024 by 768.) How does it compare to a Wacom? Hmm.. well it doesn't have tilt, and I think regular Wacoms are a bit more responsive to pressure. With that said, I did some paintings on this machine and it was fine for me. I'm not exactly a professional in that particular field, though.

I seconds what Nanogator said.

I also have the same machine, and I swear by it.
