So I've been saving up for a tablet, but I've come up with a problem.

I'm not sure whether to buy a Tablet PC or just a regular laptop and buy a Wacom Intuous seperately.

I'll be using whichever one for artwork and some internet-browsing, mostly.

So what are your guys' opinion?
And this will be lasting me quite a while, so I don't want it to start having problems after like, a year.
So what's more durable and comfortable?

Do you know where to buy them? It doesn't say on the website (well from what I'm seeing it doesn't)

WACOM. depending on what type of pen you have with the tablet pc... i would say just get a wacom tablet.


A Tablet PC is a type of computer that utilizes digitizing tablet technology to allow the user to write directly on-screen with a pen. Wacom is the leading provider of this pen sensor technology for Tablet PC solutions around the world.

it really depends on how much of an artist you are. if you're just doing casual drawing, then a tablet pc would work fine. if you're pretty hardcore, then you'll get more out of a wacom intuos unit + computer combination due to the higher precision it offers. of course, a tablet pcs are more portable since they normally come in a 12" size..while a laptop+a wacom tablet isnt so portable.

i guess there are some tradeoffs with both.
