to back up Shog, I've been using my miix 700 for art on the go and its been great. no complaints here
You talking about the flat marker?

The first option on the page (Part Number: 80QL0020US) is Core M5 with 8GB of RAM and 256GB SSD for $524.99 (from $1099) The Lenovo Active Pen for it is also discounted to $24.99 (from $39.99). If you order today, they will get it to you by 24th.
This tablet IMO is the best Surface Pro 4 clone for the money, and even better than Surface Pro for art because of the Wacom AES pen compatibility (thanks to 1 gram IAF). Artist tablet of the year for 2016 IMO. And with the new model (Miix 720) on the horizon, Lenovo themselves are discounting it hard. IMO Miix 720 isn't improved enough to warrant the normal undiscounted price they will ask for (over a grand for similar specs), and the real improvement, the ability to get one equipped with 16GB of RAM and the NVMe SSD will be significantly more expensive than this $525 deal.
Mate this thing with the Wacom Expresskey Remote ($100 from Wacom), and you will have a kickass 2D mobile art tablet set up in Photoshop, Painter or Clip Studio Paint.
Get it for yourself or a loved one for Xmas.

Good.
great writeup, shog.
I was always wondering why they kept making BIGGER screens. I just assumed there must be enough demand... I had a 24 at work and I thought even that was too fucking big (even though the weight of the original was the biggest issue IMO). 22 is my absolute sweet spot. I'm still using the 21UX right now but that's because i have had zero issues with it. If I replace in the future it won't be to something larger than 22 so I really hope they have a new/BETTER variation of it out by then, otherwise ill get the older one.
This is gonna be an exciting year or two. Im in the market again for something new, the competition and innovation hopefully means i can get me something good and relatively cheap. I like shogs one pen to rule them all, and they did recently announce for the frst time in a year the universal pen is getting worked on still from wacom.
Do you guys think it would be hard to sell a 22hd right now?
So I just purchased a Lenovo Miix 700 (Intel M5, 12GB SDRAM, 256GB SSD) and a Lenovo Active Pen. It should be arriving by tomorrow. Is there anything else I should be looking to purchase? Any thoughts regarding screen protectors?
Dell Canvas will impact its resale price for sure. If you price it right, it will sell.
What would be an appropriate price in your opinion?
It's my pleasure to keep this thread going. I'm right now trying to process all the videos and stuff from CES. I'll post some interesting stuff soon.After a long while undecided on what would I use the most for a portable tablet for art, I ended up purchasing an iPad Pro 9.7" with the Apple Pencil.
It's probably one of the more expensive solutions out there but after thinking about it for a while, I came to the conclusion that I don't plan on doing full paintings on the move (I'd rather do that at work or at home with an actual PC, a wacom tablet and a full size keyboard), so I'd want something that is stable, easy to use and fast.
I'm a somewhat Apple fan, with an Apple Watch and iPhone since I got my first with iPhone 4S. I've also had a MacBook Pro (though I went back to just having my desktop only) and an iPad, so I'm probably already fairly biased when it comes to OS for mobile devices. However after buying the Pro just two days ago, I'm really happy with the purchase since it's all I expected (already used Procreate on my old iPad but just with my fingers) and then some. Expensive, sure. Probably limited to what I can do, sure. Fits what I needed, that is, something I can have on my backpack to pop out when I wanna do some fast sketch somewhere out there or being able to bring it to a meeting at work or something and use it to sketch out things and then send the files? More than good enough.
I won't recommend it to the people expecting a tool that lets you do full art pieces that involve more involved stuff like photobashing or using photos or textures to add detail, since that probably takes a while, but otherwise? Yes. Either way, for full pieces like the ones I described, I don't think i'd like to use a tablet, but that's just my opinion.
Last but not least, Shogmaster, thanks for keeping this thread up. I've lurked it so many times since you made it, even posting about how expensive everything is, but last week I was stuck here all the time making final decisions. Again, thanks!
And wow, that was a slightly lengthy post. Sorry!
Edit: A couple things regarding the iPad Pro. The slippery surface took me a full day to get used and I was slightly worried for a bit. After a while I got used and now it doesn't bother me, but for anyone considering a purchase, I'd say go to an Apple Store and play around with one if possible.
Also, the pressure sensitivity doesn't feel 100% right currently, but there's a sensitivity curve editor in Procreate so I might modify it a bit if it bothers me. Right now I've done a couple sketches already and most of the time it was alright, though I don't like having to press so much to get the full pressure (the sensitivity on my Wacom is way lighter).
The Pencil is their best new product in a long time.I just got my iPad pro 12.9 inch 2 days ago and the pencil is amazing. Before i got it , i was playing around with a surface book and that device is pretty cool the stylus on it didn't feel good to me. I have to give apple credit for the pencil it just feels very natural. Im excited for the next revision of pros because know new apps will get announced.

HP Pavilion X2 12 with Skylake Core M3, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB SSD is now heavily discounted at $399 at Office Depot (usually goes for $550~$600). It's $90 less than the Atom version for whatever wacky reason at Office Depot.
This 2 in 1 has detachable KB included, that makes it a proper laptop when docked, unlike the Surface Pros and Lenovo Miix 510/700/720 etc. with floppy KB covers. The screen is using Elan touch panel just like Miix 700, which allows you to use Wacom's $40 Bamboo Smart for Select 2 in 1 pen with it. Functions just as well as my Miix 700.

Just wanted to post in this thread because I saw the Wacom Expresskey Remote mentioned above and wanted to let people know that a PlayStation Move Navigation controller is a decent option if you want a cheap, wireless device for shortcut keys. I paid $9 for a used one on Amazon and set it up with Xpadder for 14 shortcuts in Clip Studio Paint. Install ScpToolkit and Xpadder and you're good to go.
