Webcomic Artist tablet pc on a budget

Also looking at the 2740p and the 2540p. What's the big difference between these two?

[Shogmaster]

2740p = 2730p + CPU and GPU upgraded (Core i3~i7 and HD3000) + optional Capacitive touch.
2540p = Normal laptop

Ah, ok. I see now. Thanks.

Hey guys, back again.

Ok, I have narrowed it down to 2 contenders. The first is the Fujitsu T5010 from the first post:

Fujitsu LifeBook T5010 Tablet PC | eBay

The second one is a Fujitsu as well, a T4410:
Fujitsu Tablet PC T4410 Advanced 4G WIMAX Touch similar to T5010 | eBay

I know they are pretty similar machines but my main concerns are the screen size and the touch screen.
I want the touch screen but Im not sure if its worth losing the 1.2 inch screen size for. I saw the T4410 has more allocated graphics memory and thats important as well.
Can anyone give me a good idea on which is the better machine, or if its just a matter of preference? Also, are both the screens basically the same?
Thanks all!

Sorry, just got an email back from the guy selling this one saying he would go 550 for it:

eBay - New & used electronics, cars, apparel, collectibles, sporting goods & more at low prices

So, between these 3 then?

I saw the T4410 has more allocated graphics memory and thats important as well.

Could you explain that a bit?
Iirc both use the same Intel 4 series chipset with the same GMA 4500 MHD. That thing can allocate a multitude of the RAM for graphics memory it is actually able to handle reasonably.

[pbm_mc]

I saw that the T5010 can supposedly only allocate around 512MB to the graphics card while the T4410 can do around 1.5GB.
Not sure if thats true, but saw in a few places on the internet while doing research.

Just to toss this out there: for video memory you will use so little it isn't even funny, I'd be surprised if typical usage was in the area of 10MB even; maybe you'd push past that if you were using a very specific application but in any normal use stuff it plays pretty much zero role.

Beware of the 12.1" Fujitsu's because they had a 'standard' or 'indoor' screen that isn't that great; and a 'Outdoor' option that is the same type of AFFS+ that is standard in the T5010 (its not the best screen found in a Tablet PC, but at the cost, and other factors included it is still one of the best options -the Fujitsu Tablet PC's that is)

Ok, thanks to everyone who contributed to my thread.
I went ahead and chose the Fujitsu T5010. Hopefully I should have it by this time next week.
I will post back here once I get it and give it a trial run.
Thanks again for all your help. Thanks Agent 9.

Oh wow, that makes 2 of us. Still waiting on mine to arrive: should be here tomorrow or early next week. I ordered a Crucial 128GB SSD for it and a hard drive caddy. I really hope it works okay as my past luck with non-Apple hardware has been quite awful.
