Hi Pankaj, I have both an IBM X60 tablet laptop as well as a serious design workstation with a Wacom tablet. I've been using a Wacom tablet for years, and am very comfortable with it. I've never quite gotten used to the tablet laptop though. There's something about the way my hand shields the screen that bothers me. I sense a visual flicker around my hand, but this may just be me. Also the tablet drivers on the laptop worked better with its original XP OS than with Vista, even after upgrading - the stylus contact point is just enough off the mark to be unpredictable. My laptop is one of those "Vista Capable" machines that MS got sued for though, undoubtedly yours will be better behaved.
My recommendation: Wacom tablet for desk work and a Moleskine notebook and a nice pen for sketching in the field. Scan when you get back. Hope this helps, Michael Micheletti On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 6:57 PM, Pankaj Chawla <pankaj...@gmail.com> wrote: > Hi, > I am trying to equip my design team with work toys and was > wondering if anybody has strong opinions or experience while > working with a touchscreen based tablet PC vs a regular PC/laptop > with digital Tablet (Wacom etc.) > > Here is the link to the tablet PC that I have in mind > http://www.dell.com/tablet > > The second option of having a regular PC + Wacom will be > a 21 inch LCD with a high end desktop processor and stuff > plus a Wacom digital tablet pad. > > I know the choice will also depend on what we want to do > as part of the design but lets say from a pure visual and > graphics designing point of view which one will be better to > use.
