I am buying a portable laptop today or tomorrow to use mainly for adobe photoshop projects. I know a portable is not the fastest option but I really need the portability. I’m looking into a tablet PC such as HP Compaq’s TC1000 and I think it would be really nice to have the Tablet feature. For instance, when I need to make a very detailed selection with the lasso tool or when I use the clone stamp tool or any of the other tools really. Will the stylus-on-screen feature work with all those tools? If anyone knows or has experience with this please let me know!!!
Thanks,
Lisa

I don’t know anything about tablet PCs but check out the link below before you buy HP.

TabletPCs work with Photoshop, I have a Toshiba 3505 and the pen and eraser work with CS, but the problem is TabletPCs are designed to be ultra-light and portable and therefore aren’t really beefy enough to use with Photoshop in a speedy manner.

I use Alias Sketchbook Pro, which is optimized for TabletPC (both the rendering, and the UI). It is not for photo editing, but for sketching, and it works great on the Toshiba 3505 whereas CS is quite slow, even just for simple things like drawing.

Lisa,

I’d say get a cheap Wacom, $100 and it should be flat enough to fit into your case and use USB or parallel.

Go for it

Tablet PC’s will run Photoshop fine as long as they are powerful enough, so evaluate them the same as you would a laptop (and to some extent a desktop). I have a Toshiba M200 and can run Photoshop CS on it without problems. Other tablets that are less powerful will have more difficulty.
