I had a tablet PC for a while... it was so much fun with PS, and I cry when think about it... I gave it to my sister for Christmas when I won my Alienware (over-rated).

*feels somewhat stupid*
whats that?
Intercourse.
^A tablet PC is a notebook- or slate-shaped mobile computer. Its touch screen or digitizing tablet technology allows the user to operate the computer with a stylus or digital pen, or a fingertip, instead of a keyboard or mouse. The computer is linked to a network using a wireless link.

The form factor offers a more mobile way to interact with a computer. Tablet PCs are often used where normal notebooks are impractical or unwieldy, or do not provide the needed functionality.



Eh well when I went there you saw how talented I was with it. I didn't even know where to touch with the pen laugh.gif I love the touch pad <3

I wouldn't mind having one I suppose, I think it would be neat to use with photo shop I have to admit and I love that you can spin the screen and make it smaller and just like a notebook I suppose you could say. Or well like this!:

^ thats it? oh man it looks awesome
Intercourse.
^Yea, your the first person I've ever seen that didn't know what one was laugh.gif I don't suggest trying it all times its a lot more complicated then most would think. xD

I want a tablet. T_T The mouse can be so annoying to use sometimes. I'm sure it's a bit difficult to use at first, but like all things, you get used to it. You learn more effective methods of doing things and use them to your advantage.

^yea I know exactly what you mean _dry.gif I'd prefer to use PS by hand vs. a mouse. I think you could get even more out of PS using a tablet. I wanted one before I got my first laptop for school a few years ago, and my dad was like "are you crazy!?" its funny my dad ended up spending a pretty close amount of money, a bit less though on the laptop(mac book pro) I have now as the tablet we saw 4 years ago.

No, my dad hasn't bothered investing in one yet. sad.gif I really really want one though. It would help out a lot when it comes to Photoshop, seriously.

I was told about them a while back, since I always wanted to try one. I'd want to try it first before buying it.

Well I'm not exactly sure what a Tablet PC is, but I've heard of those Tablet Laptops, is that the samething?

I use a Wacom Tablet, it's very useful during iSketch. Lol, and offers a lot more too. I love it! _smile.gif laugh.gif

I wanted one..so baddd. Instead my dad bought me a regular laptop. He said he thinks that the tablets break faster and I'd have to replace the screen, which would be expensive later. Boo.

^ aw that sucks.

but i'm sure they'd make them good enough so they wouldn't break.

HAHA I used to have a Graphire (4, I think), but it broke recently, so now I'm horribly impaired because I can't draw ANYTHING with a mouse. I want a new tablet, or even better, a tablet PC.
