I know this is probably taking things WAY OT.. but I just wanted to pipe 
in about this.

My wife is a hobby artist.. she draws amazingly well, and always has 
issues when it comes to "scan, digitize, clean up, etc. etc. etc. " for 
her artwork..

We figured the best route would be to get her a Cintiq, but the prices 
always kept us out of the club, considering this wouldn't be a purchase 
for working/income.

This past Christmas, I got to thinking and started researching other 
options.. and I found a much better, in my opinion, solution. At least 
for her..

Motion Computing LE 1700

They're hard to find, because they don't make them anymore, but for 
Sketchbook Pro, Photoshop, Art Rage, etc. They run superbly! I found 
hers on eBay and it was like $400. but check these out.

It's got a Wacom digitizer, and it's a full windows machine.. her's had 
4 GB of RAM and an SSD installed with Windows 7 which is why it was a 
bit more expensive..

But seriously, this gives a great feeling very akin to the Cintiq 
(Drawing directly on the screen), and you don't have to have it plugged 
into your desktop tower just to get it to work.. it's all in one.

Anyway.. I'm not hired by Motion Computing or anything.. just figured 
I'd share while we were on a similar topic.. She loves hers.. it's 
battery life is a bit low, but for just hanging out on the couch, 
sketching and stuff, she just plugs it in and she's good to go. and 
they're much cheaper than a Cintiq as well.
