Rugged Tablet
A look at what is currently available on eBay
Which tablet PC is best for digital art?
First of all I know that Wacom tablets are much better and more precise than tablet pc's overall, in fact, I own a Bamboo myself. However, my laptop is broken and I'm not too keen on the hand/eye motion coordination thing, so I figure a tablet pc is the best option, considering I do not have enough money for a Wacom cintiq. I also chose to start looking for a tablet pc because I'd like more portability. Now that that is out of the way, here are my requirements:
Swivel screen
Needs to be sturdy (rugged, optional)
Outdoor viewable (preferred not required...)
DVD/USB drive
At least 5 hour battery life
Good screen/pen input
Maximum cost: 600$ (lesser is better)
Yes I did google Tablet PC's, but I'd like to hear the input of what the users thought, so if you've bought a TPC with most or all of these requirements, I'd love to hear what you have to say, thanks.
Preferably a slate tablet pc, thanks.
Just a thought! Since you have well thought out requirements you might want to see what is available from non-traditional PC makers like Motorola or Panasonic. They offer some great machines that average joe never hears about because they are typically made for police or government agency uses.
