Today my laptop broke and I was wondering if you guys and gals could refer a laptop or tablet around 400$ that would be good for 2d animation? I use a wacom pen graphics tablet and im leaning toward getting a computer tablet to replace my laptop. I use freeware instead of flash ATM because I'm poor :-( I just want something cheap but good for animation thought about the surface but I've heard bad things so maybe not. Also if you know how to do good lines like what tools and settings I should use that would be great! Thanks everyone
I would rather get a PC or another laptop for such thing. I don't know much about the tablets, but I don't think you can use a wacom tablet on a tablet.
Recommending a rig is hard, because each person has their own needs.
Just make sure that it has enough processor power and memory.
In your case, I would say an Intel i5 and at least 4GB RAM.
I dunno, I'm normally a guy who buys a PC extremely rarely.
In case you wanna know, here's my PC specs
i5 @ 3.30GHz
8GB RAM
NVidia GTX 560
64-Bit Windows 7
I'm not sure if you'll be able to get yourself a tablet PC for $400. Do some research though, I could be wrong. I know wacom is coming out with something for the newer cintiqs for an additional $1,000..

I would get yourself a new PC or laptop as has been said, tablets are not very/at all compatible with drawing/wacom tablets. I have a tablet that I use for reading, browsing and word processing, and while great for those things, it just isn't functional enough to work full time on (even word processing is pushing it).
