I'm still pissed I bought the 2-in-1 RIGHT after they switched off the digitizer. Like I was browsing the website the week before, then when it came in I found it was a slightly different model without that capability. But I needed a laptop immediately then so I kept it..Sneaky Dell brought back pen digitizer in their Inspiron 2 in 1s couple of weeks ago. But they switched from Wacom AES to MPP to save cost.

Next time I'm splurging on something reliable and oriented more towards that stuff.
Kind of a noobish question, but if I were to get a yoga 720 would there be any point in getting something like an intuos art tablet? I've got a decently powerful desktop that I'll probably use half the time at home, and I'm not sure if I'd be limited to the laptop as my only option to work on.

A little help here?
Clip Studio Paint Pro won't recognize pen pressure on my Surface Pro 3. The pen itself wasn't synced correctly with the Surface Pro at first, since the watch batteries in the pen were out of juice (OneNote wouldn't open when pressing the erase button), but I replaced those today and now clicking opens OneNote, double clicking takes a screenshot, etc.
Fresh Paint and OneNote both recognize pressure, but not CSP. Help!
Android note taking apps on Chromebooks are not fully baked yet so I wouldn't make that as the main reason for purchasing that Samsung. Eventually the Android functionality will be good enough on Chromebooks. You are probably a bit early. Also, $400 is a lot for something with ARM processor.I've been looking into getting a 2in1 for school mostly for note taking but I want to be able to do all my math work on the laptop so I need a screen that's really good to write on.
The Samsung Chromebook Plus caught my attention and it's $400 on amazon right now, would this be a good deal? Would I be able to find something cheaper? Or something with Windows?
I really would only use it for note taking, this would be replacing the laptop I have now and I never use it outside of class so I don't need anything powerful, as long as I can browse and use word/excel I'm good.
I'd prefer a laptop over a tablet with attached keyboard but if I could get a good deal I'd consider those too.
Just grabbed a fully loaded 10.5 iPad Pro (aka Smart Keyboard and pencil). What are some of the better sketching/drawing apps to be looking at? Also loaded the iOS 11 beta. Man.... so so good.
I don't know about a steal. It's an A53 based Android tablet with Wacom EMR pen. It normally goes for $350. $50 savings is pretty decent I guess. But it's still Android, and pen apps on it are very lack luster IMO. $50 more and you can get a Windows 10 2 in 1 pen device like Asus Transformer Mini.This showed up on r/stylus as an apparent steal:

I'd recommend expanding your budget a bit for a Windows 2 in 1 with active pen. say $700 for 13" one like Yoga 720.
Only one app you should consider: Procreate

Damn didn't think it'd be that bad with Android. I guess I could spend more just seems excessive for taking notes
Edit: Wait would the Asus Transformer Mini be good for notes?
How does the Surface Pro4 compare to the yoga 720, for professional level work?(can i use the wacom pen with it?)
I would be saving 500 with prime sales.
It will be pretty good with Modern UI OneNote (for cloud saving) or Squid (for local saving).

The more research I do into Lenovo and the Yoga 720, the less inclined I am to make the purchase. It seems like they've got some quality control issues, since I saw a display model with a black line running through the screen and upon googling it found that this seems to be a rather common issue. As far as I can tell though, it seems like it may only be an issue with the 4K display, but other horror stories about Lenovo's customer service and iffy return/exchange policy for defects has me wary of buying from them directly.
I'm starting to lean more towards looking for a more traditional laptop and buying something like the Intuos Art tablet for use with both a laptop and my desktop.
If you paint rather than draw, Intuos route is great. But if your work is mostly about drawing (e.g. industrial design), Intuos is far from ideal for your needs.
Just wanted to come in and plug the MobileStudio Pro 16. Probably the best drawing device I've ever used in terms of size, function, aesthetic and power. The 15.6 inch screen is perfect for drawing, and not too small like the Companion 2 was for me. The battery is still sorta shit (hovers around 4 hours), but it's sleek, fast and portable.
Depends on your work needs. SP4 has dual core i5/i7. It can't compete with Yoga 720 15's quad core i7 for things like Z Brush. It will choke on it. But moderate Photoshop it will do fine with.

There is fair bit of learning curve with any kind of drawing. Tons more so than on screen drawing.I'd mostly be using it for casual art/drawing, but nothing particularly technical. Eventually I'd like to try my hand at basic animation, so I assume it'd be okay for drawings like that?
I just got my miix 510
(interestingly enough it cam from an amazon marketplace seller and came faster than amazon's 2-day shipping ._. )
What i didn't expect was that it had a backlit keyboard and the pen was actually included in the box. There was no indication that it would be, and its a pretty good pen. I'm not gonna cancel my order of the wacom pen because I have a bad track record with pens :S.
I'll charge it, update bios, and then clean install windows (I hate the lenovo bloat.)
I tested out the pen on ink workspace sketchpad and its much much better than i was expecting. Very little wobble (significantly better than the surface pro 4 i tested out at bestbuy), so i'm very happy with it so far. :3
Amazon France delay, is making me think hard about whether or not i really need to spend 1500€ on the 15" yoga 720.
I would probably never use the 1050(don't plan to game on this thing) and the increased real estate isn't that much of a factor(13" is fine if you can zoom).
The one real divider, is the cpu.
i7-7700hq seems vastly faster than the i5-7200u (plus it has two more cores).
But is it 575€ better? I know CSP would probably be fine, but PS can be a hog with large PSD files.
Don't care about 3d rendering and other stuff, since i would mostly do comic book art and illustrations.
I know i'm like a broken record with this, it's just that it's a very big expense and it's psyching me out.
Should be 4 cores.i5 15" has 1050 + i5-7300 which is quad core (According to Amazon FR anyway) and it's only 1179,99. Still waiting for the 720 in the UK - mid to late July so soon.
Edit: Maybe not Quad it doesn't say which i5-7300
32", lol.
I have an old 24", and i always use a tiny fraction of the screen anyway, when i draw.
Even if you have more of a painter background, when working in digital i can't see someone seriously using 32".
I hope you like it and I hope you have better luck than I have had with my Lenovo Miix 700 finding an external battery that works with it lol.I just got my miix 510

oh well I am either going to have to get an external battery that has an AC plug or accept it won't charge off one as I don't know why https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B012NIQG5E/?tag=neogaf0e-20 doesn't work with it *shrugs* maybe I need the same type of battery the switch needs in order to charge while using it.
While idk about the 700, the 510 doesn't accept charge through the usb-c.
though tbh, my daily use case doesn't really require an external battery pack.
most of the time it won't be an issue. I was hoping to use it during my flight across seas, but I only get like 3-4 hours on the battery (though that is playing an indie game, perhaps doodling or reading something will be a bit better) thus would need a battery that works.
the 700 uses an offshoot of usb 3.0 to charge don't know the name but the cord is a little funky lol
Its fairly noticeable these days. Lots of apps are open GL/CL accelerated.Probably another dumb question, but how important is a dedicated GPU for 2D digital art?
I bought a Yoga book a couple of months ago, I absolutely love it. as a dedicated system for creating detailed work? Or using for design at all? no way, but as something to sketch ideas on, rough drafts etc that you then bring home to your super expensive computer (that will always be where I create anything worthwhile) It's awesome.
I just love how it looks and feels, is so light and portable too. Highly recommended.
and dat keyboard doe
I'm thinking about getting a tablet to draw comics on and need some suggestions. The main thing I need is to be able to draw/color directly on the tablet screen. I had an old wacom and could never get the hang of drawing on the tablet yet looking at my monitor. I'd also like it to run the new manga studio software (I forget what its called) or better software for comics if you have any suggestions. Oh yeah, I have about $1000 to spend.
