Ok, so i figured someone on here has got the answer, i have/use a fujitsu tablet pc right now, but i plan on getting a new laptop in the near future.
So, should i go with the HP tablet pc (screen size is only 12.1") or get a bigger, nicer laptop and get a wacom tablet with it? and if i should get a wacom, which one should i get?

Thanx much

I'm going to be buying a Wacom Cintiq 12wx.
It's $999 brand new, but I'm looking for a cheaper version on Ebay at the moment.

It's nice because you can write on the screen with the same 1024 pressure sensitivity that the Intuos tablets have.

I wouldn't recomend it.. the screen is awfully small where an intuos large is less than half the price and 3 times bigger. The only one worth buying is the larger Cintiq, but its 2 times the price. And I tested the cintiq, didn't find it too great. Well its your choice, gl buying.

So do you write on the wacom and watch your moniter or is it an actual screen?

Thanks for the tip Rocky. I think I'll just save up for the 21 inch Cintiq then. I also heard lots of negative reviews about the 12wx and that the edges of the screen jitter, but don't jitter on the 21 inch version.

It's an actual screen where you draw on it. You can see a demonstration of how it works on youtube. Just do a search for "cintiq". Lots of examples there.

So, lets see if i got this... The intuos doesnt have an active screen, its like a giant laptop touch pad w/ a pen. And the Cintiq has a real screen that you work on, but the cheaper one ($999... HA Sad ) isnt worth getting.
Is that all correct?
