I haven't tried those tablet pc's but I have a Cintiq UX21, Intuos3 A4, and a few bamboo's.īy my experience I would tell you to get a intuos, 3 or 4. I'm an amateur artist as well, but managed somehow to get a lot of equipment xD. So, any reasons why a PC tablet like the one I mentioned wouldnt satisfy my needs? Also, Im just an amateur and do drawing/painting as a hobby, not a job. I tried using some android tablets, but the lack of ANY pressure sensitivity makes painting very cumbersome - maiking a smooth colour transition is a lot of work, while with pressure sensitivity it would only take a few swipes. I dont like the pen-picture detachment when using regular graphic tablets, also i dont like it how i cant turn them to get comfortable drawing angles, and thats why im seeking a cintiq-like solution. Im mostly interested in sketching, drawing and digital painting with the tablet. Why wouldnt an amateur use such laptops for drawing, designing, digital painting etc? Is there something i need to know before making the purchase?Įdit a bit more info about what im looking for: All this in a price range below one fifth of the smallest cintiq! One might say that they have integrated graphics card, but is that such a big deal? Photoshop should run fine, at least for typical digital painting tools, and there is always GIMP (pretty lightweight compared to PS) or using the entire laptop as a remote desktop display for a stationary PC with decent hardware.
These computers have reasonable specs, nice processors and should do fine. Sure, in the soon-to-be-mine Fujitsu model there are 255 pressure levels, not 2k like in intuos devices, but I am not a pro and I probably couldnt feel any difference between the two. So my question is: how come nobody advised buying such PCs? Are they little known about, or do they have some big disadvantages I dont know about? There are others, like the IBM X61, some toshibas, HPs etc. Ill be buying a second hand Fujitsu LifeBook T4220 for around 190$. Those would be PC laptops with integrated digitizers. I didnt give up on my pursuit and found solutions that fit in a 150-200$ price range.
There have been questions about this, ideas to try to use an android tablet for such purposes, but everyone used the phrase "just buy a wacom bamboo tablet" like a mantra. Most of us would love to work with a cintiq-like tablet, but very few could afford one, especially if they are not professionals.
