- Need help on finding a portable pad/tablet that can draw directly on screen (using Adobe Illustrator) -

As above. I am considering between Microsoft surface 3 (budget 2k plus) but two friends said, these surface pad is not as good as laptop and suggested to get a laptop with touchscreen that can remove from keyboard, switch to pad/tablet. (like Acer Aspire Switch or Asus i5)

But i am not sure if those touch screen laptop support adobe illustrator function using stylus? Can anyone advise on this?

I create digital illustration using Adobe software so the main purpose is to get a light weight device that i can draw directly on screen like a tablet when i leave my workspace (like anywhere) .

Thank you!

not really sure.. can find out... but it can detach

inspiron 7348 got stylus but cant detach

hey bro, why not use a drawing tablet? wont that give better precision?

just wondering as I see other ts here using tablet for illustration and digital drawing.

wacom easily

how abt the hp new models for illustrator?

I'm using Surface 3 for Java works, DB works, Photoshop, and taking notes. So it should be good enough for Illustrator too.

I heard that Acer styluses are nowhere as good as Surface pens.

You'll love Surface 3 for its weight & excellent pen.

you would want proper digitizers for that like N-trig used in Surfaces (your surface pro) or Synaptic used in HP Spectre x360 or Wacom in Thinkpads instead of stylus
