Tablet PCs

[jjjjjjjjjj]

When I move for college, I'll probably need a laptop so I might as well get a PCTablet. I hear good things about the Lenova ThinkPad x200, but its kinda out of my price range ($1000). I'm hoping to spend at the most $800. I just need a good pc tablet thats at least 2 gigs of ram and a decent graphics card. Any recommendations?

if you have a tablet is there a point to owning a tablet pc?

khawner tablet pcs make drawing and animating on the computer feel like you're drawing directly on paper. It's just a lot better.

not necessarily. i prefer the feeling of an intuos. drawing on a screen for me is not like drawing on paper at all. the distance between the pen and the pixel is too far. you also have your hand in the way on a tablet pc or cintiq. i think the greatest advantage of a classic tablet is that you can see the full drawing area. it's really a matter of preference, though. some people can't ever get used to not looking at what they're drawing. on the other hand it only took me a month or two to pick it up.

well yeah for me it's a lot better. I don't mind my hand being in the way because the coordination I've tried at working with with a graphire and intuos for 2 years weighs more into it.
I calibrate my cintiq every time pixels veer off and it seems to work fine. It feels like paper for meeee.
