I want to take the leap and get a nice drawing tablet-bought one years ago and it sucked balls -was very hard to work with. End up taking it back after a few days.
Any suggestions?

honestly the screen/tablets are the best - but NOT cheap
I've been using an Ipad, ProCreate drawing app, and the pressure sensitive Adonit stylus. I've never used a dedicated drawing tablet to be able to compare to, but it has worked for me so far. Plus, there are always new drawing apps coming out, most are crappy, but some are good. I have a couple for vector drawing and ProCreate for more realistic drawing tools
Any good brands/models you know?Quote:

Wacom companion are really good but pricey (just be careful as there is a new model coming soon), on a lower budget a microsoft surface pro 3, i would recommend to go for the core i5. Or on an even lower budget a used or refurbished fujitsu lifebook (t901, t902). All run on windows and are fully able to run photoshop, on a 13 inches display except for the surface pro which is a 12.
My vote would be for the surface pro.
yea i like the idea of a all in one monitor type.
I bought a motion Computing tablet pc with built in Wacom screen for less than 150€ on eBay. It isn't crazy fast but for drawing it's fine and it is pressure sensitive. I love drawing directly on the screen and it is better than my iPad Air 2 with Wacom stylus or Adonit stylus ( I have both )Quote:

Also, there are several lesser known brands that are MUCH cheaper than the wacom. Genius is the brand I got and for the same price as a 6 by 8 a very large one my brain says it was $120.
If any one has one of those "motion Computing tablet pc" i have a used eikon es300 i would trade for one.
