Tablet PC - No, not a goddamn iPad, an ASUS eee Slate

    I recently got a ASUS eee Slate.

    It's a Win07 machine, and I use it for Photoshop mostly. It plays nice with pressure sensitive WACOM pens, so it is pretty freaking sweet for a guy like me who can't afford a genuine Wacom tablet.

    I like the fact that it has an HDMI port, though I have yet to use it. The viewing angle is wide. But mostly what I like is that I can go from sketching to finished product right there on one thing. No sketching on paper, then scanning. No trying to draw on a Wacom thing off to the side of what I am actually looking at. It's nice. It's natural.

    The only downside is the included Bluetooth Keyboard. When the battery gets low, it absolutely shits the bed. I have to un-install and reinstall with each battery change.

    If you are looking for a tablet PC, I urge you to cheggitout.

    that's pretty cool. I really wanted to try to stay win centric for the workflow and compatibility areas.

    While adobe doesn't have flash on the iPad they have specific apps designed for it. I don't think that is also such a good solution since the learning curve is present not just in workflow and button presses but also screen size and work tools example no mouse.
