Alright so I did go back and find Jeri's post asking for help on tablets but I don't know if that style is right for me so looking for some more opinions. I have only ever done art on a Surface Pro or with a mouse on my desktop. I have seen Wacom Intuos' being praised as great tablets but it's just something to draw on and doesn't actually have a screen of it's own.
As of now my desktop is the only computer I have now so if I went with one of these then I would be stuck at my computer to do art. Do you have any recommendations for a good tablet that also has a screen so I can be portable as well without too high of a price. I love pen sensitivity so that is a must. Also I use Affinity Photo for my art program. I will not go back to Surface Pro due to their customer service being crap. And I am not a fan of Apple so I will stay away from IPAD's. |

If you go on Wacom's site they have a ton of options. Screens and wacom intuos pros. I use a pro. Love it. Buying another as mine was recently stolen -.- |

I also use a wacom intuos pro. The medium one. I find theyre easy to use. You wont find a good tablet with a screen unless you are willing to fork out good money (cheapest one i would buy was a couple gs). And with the price you are going to pay at that level, i would suggest instead investing in a high quality laptop and a normal wacom intuos and that way you're not stuck at a desk. |

Jello is right - the best ones with the screens are generally ones like the Cintiq. Mine is the smallest version and it cost me an arm and a leg. Intuos was one I had a little before it and I loved that thing - but switched over to the Cintiq after a combination of saving for years and hoarding birthday money as well. Also - a good laptop that interfaces well with a tablet it the right choice too, as Jello has mentioned. Make sure you have a fair amount of RAM to use your art programs to their best capability.

Hmm alrighty. Thanks for the input I will have to think a little longer and save up for a bit to get exactly what I want. I am not sold on the critiq because if i am going to spend that kind of money I want it to be able to do more then just art. But I also do want a bulky laptop either. But they are always coming out with new things so maybe I will be able to find the best of both worlds. |

This is the tablet I have. I've had two of them. They work well, I like them as they aren't too large. I've had a larger Intuos but I didn't like it, I like the smaller size of this one. Plus comes with other bonus software too. |

XP-Pen Artist 22R Pro drawing display tablet is what I use and it suits my needs perfectly. being able to see what I'm doing on the surface I'm drawing is brilliant . They come in different sizes, I think 22" is a fine size. It's like $700 if I recall. I do a lot of drawing with Corel Painter but that's really more a painting program. |
