Microsoft surface pro..

Recommended Posts

Has anyone used any version of the surface pro.. NON RT version.. For Drawing. I'm considering getting the surface pro because its compatible with a wacom stylus with a few driver tweaks and pressure sensitivity or... Just getting a new really nice monitor and a wacom or huion Drawing Tablet. Please give me your thoughts and suggestions.. ALSO ANY PC's THAT USE PRESSURE SENSITIVE PENS WOULD BE HELPFUL!! :)

I just bought a wacom Intuos pen pad touch small for (75 bucks or so?) I bought the small because most people said that you only use a small area.

 

I also bought  a 22" Dell monitor (1920 x 1080) @ 60Hz for about 120.00 ( Office Max having a special). I think having hardware built for the design and drawing purpose will make you happier long term. :)

How Do you like it ? And you should consider the huion Pro .. I've heard its comparable to the wacom intuos pro.. which is 300 the huion has many of the same features for around 85 90. If i get just the drawing tablet i'll get the huion but if i want to go big i'm going with the intuos and a nice monitor .. may as well ..

I think it's going to be also determined by what program you are drawing in. I bought a $400 Wacom tablet to use with illustrator. Two things made me send it back. #1 was it no longer used the same key process to draw and I was having a hard time getting used to all the combinations to do what I already knew how to do. #2 I decided I can't draw freehand for crap. No natural artistic drawing ability evidently. Go figure.
