Tablet

The Wacom Intuos 4 is pretty much capable of "running" any program. Both the pen and the mouse operate in either "mouse mode" or "pen mode" to do anything you would do with a normal mouse. In addition, various commands can be assigned to the buttons on the tablet, the dynamic menu and the touch wheel.

The setup can also be customized for every program, including Flexi, you want to be different from the default setup.

I was reading it as he was wanting to know about the laptop PCs that have the flip screen to where you can just operate it by touchscreen and if there was one powerful enough to run Flexi. Not a tablet as in any of the Wacom lines.

I was tempting on getting a Fujistu one at one time. I still might do it, if I can find one for the right price. However, I should mention I don't run Flexi or any other program along those lines.

Yes I probably read it wrong. If you're asking about that, then I really don't know. Best to get an answer from SAi or one of their dealers.

Thanks, and sorry I was so vague.

Yes, I am asking if there is currently a commercially available Tablet PC (iPad-ish), w/touch screen, that is adequate at running either Flexi (dongle may be an issue), or CorelDraw?

Yea, the Fujistu was the one that I was looking at. They make some good quality commercial grade equipment. My dad has 3 of their large plasma TVs and a couple of the local grocery stores use Fujistu equipment for their self checkout. The one model I as looking at still had some room for customization with regard to RAM.

Now this is touchscreen, but it also has a physical keyboard. The screen just "flips" around depending on if you want to use it as a touchscreen or normal laptop.

I was thinking about this as a travel computer that would run the Master Suite of CS5 and my embroidery CAD programs. I hate dragging the big Intous 3 and once you get spoiled with the Cintiq, it's hard to go back. Now, I will say that I am not running programs like Flexi, but odd as it might seem my embroidery CAD programs are pretty resource intensive due to 3D rendering.

A touch screen differs from a pressure sensitive tablet with say 1024+ levels of pressure sensitivity. In other words, a paint brush isn't going to bend or create a thicker line the harder you press but rather just move as it would with a mouse.

Excuse me. I did use the wrong terminalogy. It does have pressure sensitivity, however, it isn't at the level of the Cintiq.

For me that isn't a big deal, because I don't even use that with the Cintiq, but I did use the wrong term.
