Ok, my latest ponderings in the realm of tabletPC/tablets is to skip a arge tabletPC and go for either a Galaxy Note or a Lenovo thinkpad tablet.
I want something to function as a digital sketchpad so that I can get away from my desk.
I like the Note obviously for the wacom tech. Iīm worried it might be too small in the long run. Not so much the screensize, but rather the handling...I mean will the hand get really tired from "hanging in the air" while drawing on account of it being too small to comfortably rest the palm? Another fear here is that since Samsung released the s-pen SDK, Iīm thinking theyīll want to release more devices with this hardware. I would hate to buy the Note only to find that a s-pen Galaxy Tab is out a month from now.
More plusses for this device is that I really am overdue on a new phone(my current one isnīt even a smartphone) and the camera is good enough to not have to bring along my big camera.
The Lenovo on the other hand feel like an almost perfect size, but uses the dreaded N-trig. From what Iīve seen though (latinvixens videos) the drawing functions really well atleast in some apps. Otherwise it feels like a so-so device.
My third option basically is to go all in and buy a Fujitsu t900(not the 901 which is still too expensive here). This one is not really fair to compare to the other two though, but I mention it any way. It costs twice as much as the other two. I feel this one will enable me to sell the desktop, but on the other hand it might not be as mobile as I want. Both in terms of size, but also being a complete PC. My thinking here is that hopefully a less capable device will force me to be a bit more loose with my art, cause anytime I open Photoshop here on the big computer I feel I have to produce something polished and thatīs not necessarily what I want from a mobile sketchpad(although I want enough capability to take it further than I would a pencildrawing on a piece of paper, otherwise I can just stick to that).
I think thatīs it, hope someone has some advice that will finally make me wanna part with some money.
