@johnp and @Darth_Vader doesn't matter no way I'm getting a 2 in 1. Went to the Microsoft store and tried the Surface Book. The stylus is nowhere near as good as Intuos Pro but that wasn't even the real problem. Bigger issue is there's no buttons on the tablet or the pen to use shortcuts or hotkeys or anything. Just zooming in and out I had to actually switch to the Magnifying glass. And after using Marquee I had to go through the menus to Deselect. Completely inneficient

Looks like I'll be either getting a Desktop or Laptop instead so everything's back on the table :(

that's really disappointing :/ @Ryan

they say the next version will be on a par with the current ipad pro's stylus but i cant see the other issue going away as they're probably forcing everyone to get a keyboard

it sure was. I was so frustrated and of course nobody there understood why cause they're all beginners and just playing around with it

haha

I felt like day one photoshop user having to search through menus I haven't looked at in years. Who uses the Magnifying tool to zoom in!?

sickos

I tried two finger pinching the screen. Nope that didn't work either

surprised at that

i wonder what artists are using these days aside from the cintiqs

maybe have a look at imagine fx next time you're at a newsagents, i think they do reviews on that sort of equipment

just realised imaginefx is part of creativebloq ¬_¬ wouldn't trust those reviews

only things I've heard of as good are Cintiq and Huion

yeah...there's another brand but Ugee or something

after a history of dodgy tablets, id be reluctant to try anything other than a wacom...my lightpad is a huion...but it's a lightpad

do what i hope to do: get a wacom pen display and build the desktop yourself :P

you can be my guineapig tester person

it would be an amazing setup with a dual monitor for phototouchup

I might but I was really hoping to have as mobile a solution as possible

If I could pick up enough remote work I'd buy an RV and never look back

As it is though, I'm really thinking about a rant video on my Instagram but I don't think I have enough followers for that to be appropriate

haha it might be

i dunno, it's frustrating that there isn't a good product like this yet (that we know of) for designers.

though many designers never draw so a stylus might feel alien to them i suppose

for what it's worth @Ryan I'm finding windows 10 a lot better to work with than windows 8

yeah. Oh man I saw the mannequin display for think it was Gucci and reminded me of your pattern. Almost took a photo

Maybe you can let me use your pattern in a tutorial sometime. I'll either make it a background wallpaper or clothing or something

oh cool :3 yeah i can send it to you if you like. Was disappointed Artrage didn't support 16-bit images...I think I'll be learning Krita in future

eep it's 67~ mbs. can try and reduce it but it may not look great

mind deleting the link when you got it? i used save for web to compress it so i hope it's ok..it's transparent so you can add ur own background colour or whatever

cool

I won't use it until you get some sort of site or social media so I can give you credit

not that I've got lots of followers or anything but still

haha thanks

i did too... @joojaa

But, but it has only one close vote @johnp

oh I meant I downvoted it @joojaa

@Vincent Shouldn't meta.graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/q/3005/23061 be status-completed?

hey @ZachSaucier

@johnp oh hi. Sorry, been busy doing a lot of maintenance stuff around my house because I just got back

no worries :)
