Thanks for all the info(and the compliments :D). I think I'd mostly be using the tablet for short sessions, like practicing unfamiliar techniques, doodling poses, and drawing simple cartoons. I think it should be enough for that. Now if I could only find one for under $300. :P

Oh, and I'm a big fan of Hogarth! Although I haven't read that many artbooks, but I find the way he teaches to be very straightforward and to the point, and, like you said, they are good for memorizing parts, which I have a particularly difficult time with. Plus, I just love staring at his sketches. 


They are releasiing an 8-inch model soon. Maybe that will be in your pricepoint. The CPU is supposedly a wee bit higher... google galaxy note 8 inch, youll see pictures/news on it

I can't believe I didn't hear about this earlier. I thought I was on top of this stuff! I find 9in. tablets to be the perfect size, but 8 inches is pretty respectable too, and since it'll be using a standard TFT LCD screen, I'm guessing Samsung is aiming for $300 or less. I'm crossing my fingers for $250 for the 16gb Wifi model, though.


I hope it works out for you. I personly prefer tablets as big as I can get them. If I need something small I go with a phone, and if I want to bring a tab along I'd want something as close the size of a laptop. That's why I'm so interested in the new move by MS and even Android Tab makers to include an attachable keyboard. It's the best of both worlds. Although I haven't played with one yet, I would imagine that a Windows 8 tablet with Photoshop, Corel Painter, etc. would be as good as it gets. If pressure sensitivity was included. I guess the bonus with that is you could always bring your Wacom along and have a touch screen tablet for quick access to buttons and the Wacom tablet for drawing.

I've heard of a pretty good Lenova pressure sensitive touch screen laptop, but since I'm not in the market for a laptop I haven't looked into it.
