Tablet Advice

[Tennessee-6]

Was told to try this forum so here was my post:
Apologies in advance if this has been a topic my search is not working??

I'm looking at looking at getting a Tablet possibly an Ultrabook or the Surface . My question is does anyone use these with their Flash Creations and if you do what platform are you using?

Last I knew a Wacom tablet was the only way to draw with a pen - is this still the case?

Also I still have 8Pro and am wondering if this will still work on a tablet with a stylus instead of a mouse or if I need to upgrade to CS6? I have been out of the animation world for some time and 8 has worked just fine for logo designs. and I would hate to drop the cash if I don't need to.

Please Educate me I feel like a dino.

As far as I know the Surface Pro is the only one that supports CS6.
Otherwise you can't go wrong with a Wacom.

After a bit of time drawing on the Surface Pro, I can say that it is very capable of doing some nice drawings. The sensitivity is leaps and bounds better than any other tablet I've come across. The only thing that tops it is the Cintiq, and it tops it by a lot, but the Cintiq is a very expensive piece of equipment and not a whole computer you take with you.

Get a Wacom, they are the best money can buy also they all work with all versions of Adobe Flash and for which tablet i would suggest either a intuos 4 or a cintiq depending on your peripheral budget.
