Can I use my tablet PC as a pen tablet for my desktop?

Question

Hi,

I work as a graphic designer and I often use a Wacom tablet to draw on things like Photoshop (I use my desktop PC for this.) Recently my pen-tablet has stopped working (due to a LOT of use.) I'm thinking of buying an Asus tablet PC and wanted to know the following:

Is there some sort of connection app where I can draw in Photoshop on the tablet and have it appear REAL-TIME on my desktop - Basically, I want to use the tablet as a replacement for the Wacom tablet but with its on screen...

Any ideas?

Answer 1

If you want a tablet PC to draw on, get the MS Surface Pro (1 or 2). It's the only windows tab with a Wacom digitizer and functions just like a Cintiq, with the added benefit of being a powerful, self-contained, battery-powered computer. No other tablet PC can touch the quality of its drawing experience. Plus, it has mini DisplayPort out, so you can connect it to a monitor and use it like you would a pen tablet.

Source: I have a Surface Pro 1, and it is my favorite thing ever.

Answer 2

I reccomend the Huion, as well, got one for $50.

By a tablet "with its on screen", do you mean a monitor tablet? All tablets show drawings on real time, especially if you have a Wacom, but if you want a monitor tablet, you won't really find anything under $1000.

Answer 3

why not try Huion tablet? I purchased one last month and so far i am satisfied with H610 Pro for its good quality and affordable price.
