So i've decided i'm doing enough free hand art to need a stylus. Only problem: i hate styluses. They're stupid. But what dose look good is drawing on a screen instead. (plus there are some video games that could work better like this). So for the sake of art, what do you think would be better for digital painter?
If you're not sure what a tablet is, it's a laptop that has a screen that can swivel around and close so that it's screen points up. Here is what a lap top
A tablet opens like a regular laptop, then swivels, and can be drawn or written. (note: model and make doesn't change between positions)
pc vs laptop video. To see it in action.
IBM/lenovo tablets have all gotten good reviews as far as using the touch screen. Unlike the HP models there's no lag and there for would be a good canidate for free hand art. And they're all over youtube video reviews.
The new toshiba tablets also have been getting great scores on cnet. And they looked good on youtube video reviews.
The only tablets that have been been said to have lagged when using the screen are the HP versions. And it did just as bad in the video reviews.
I haven't done any research on acer yet but i did come across this article about a 3d artist who uses a tablet. Maybe i'll be doing everything on a tablet some day.
edit:
This is way too small for doing good photoshop work,
but check out it's keyboard. cool no?
