Oh.. Smart move, you are going with the plasic raincoatish thing and an axe too? Because othervise you might end up just looking like any character who has ever worn a suit and tie.

Unfortunately I couldn't find a plastic raincoat, but I do have an axe. Also, I have business cards :D

By universe, I meant world, our world, what humanity inhabits.

NEW SUBJECT.

i dreamt one night in a beautiful gossamer dream that there was such a device that took the form of a drawing tablet, but was entirely self-contained with a real screen and the ability to use photoshop with no external laptop/computer needed so i could take it and draw anywhere. and without the extra 8 lbs of a cruddy notebook book built into it.

is there such a tablet IN THIS MORTAL REALM? i've been reading about the macpad but its steered to be more of a glorified itouch than a dedicated drawing tablet. my productivity would skyrocket if there was such a tablet that didn't need a host to plug into and feed off of...

a laptop where you can draw on the screen basically, wacom does something like that i think, but it might not be, i know iv seen them before but they cost a lot i have no idea where to find them

the Cintiq 21UX

This is what you guys are thinking of
good luck selling off a kidney for one.

Sadly that's not what sucho is talking about. While Cintiq's are freaking awesome (I got to use one for my junior and senior years of college) they are not portable in the sense that they still need a computer and operating system to function. You can't just take the tablet around with you and be able to draw, it needs power.

I definitely believe that wacom or some big company like microsoft or apple will come out with an on-screen tablet PC that is specifically geared for digital artists in the future though. If you could just pack up one of those Cintiq's and pop on the power and draw away in photoshop outside, or on the plane or a car ride that would be sweet. I know there are tablet PC's out there, but none that I know of with the functionality and preciseness of a wacom.

May I point out that Ninja are just well trained assassins, stop trying to make them magic.
It pisses me off.

Who said anything about magic? I most certainly did not.

it came up somewhere so I went with it.

hey at least you don't where any bright orange jump suites

Ninja are simply tools of their masters. They may seem cool in pop culture, but in reality the one who pulls the strings is the guy to be.

except for the fact that he gets murdered by some other guys ninja.

While we're on the subject of ninjas...

im sure some company could rig up a laptop so the screen is a tablet, its just replacing the screen with the cintiq, i wouldnt recommend mutilating your computer but why hasnt this been made yet

there are laptops with screens that you can draw on, but how do you know if Wacom is allowed to copy that idea?

As awesome as a Wacom/laptop combo would be, it's still quite beyond the horizon for now.

A laptop would need quite some parts to run Photoshop or Painter well - about 4GB of RAM, a powerful dual-core processor (or quad-core....although I haven't seen a laptop with quad processors), which in turn would need good cooling. Well, I'll assume that we won't need a good grapichs card because playing with your Wacom is only good for point-and-click adventure games and RTS's.
Problem 1 - the battery would die very fast trying to run such monster computer. It's not much fun being always plugged in, but OK, we'll manage. Moving on...

As of now, the Cinitq alone, without the stand, weighs approximately 8,5 kg. The computer we are constructing would most likely sit on the 3-4 kg line. So end result would be between 10 and 13 kg. 10-13 kg computer. That's some heavy shit to carry around with you.

But most of all....the Cintiq alone costs 2000 USD. A powerful laptop means adding somewhere between 1000 and 2000 USD. 3000 to 4000 dollars. Fuuuuucck....

no it really doesnt, my laptop worth about £300 runs photoshop and flash simultaneous, while im still on newgrounds but i got a cheapo tablet worth about £40 still does the job

Prototypes have already been made

Were assuming such a thing is used solely for designing... no games.
If you use a standalone version of photoshop (or some other program) you wouldnt need an elaborate operating system. ram can be scaled down lots. there are already lots of quad-core laptops out there, so thats not really a novelty. Besides, Im running photohop on my dualcore laptop just fine... You get in trouble when you are working really big (ie. A1 size...) but then again this device would be intended for quick scetching, drawing out ideas, working on the train etc. so that shouldnt be that big a problem.
Cooling wont really be a problem; It wont need more cooling than a regular laptop. (granted, with the screen closing off the top of the laptop, it might need a bit more, but that shouldnt pose any problems)

Problem 1 - the battery would die very fast trying to run such monster computer. It's not much fun being always plugged in, but OK, we'll manage. Moving on...

True, as laptop batteries go they die fast, especially with a 21" screen... Thats why Id rather see a 15" 16:9 screen... that`d have half the area of a 21"...
When you consider we (most of us) are currently using 7" bamboos, which will fit four times in a 15" screen....

As of now, the Cinitq alone, without the stand, weighs approximately 8,5 kg. The computer we are constructing would most likely sit on the 3-4 kg line. So end result would be between 10 and 13 kg. 10-13 kg computer. That's some heavy shit to carry around with you.

Id think its more like 7/8 kg in total... Alot of stuff can be merged or skipped, 21" cintique is 10 kg, 15" would come to roughly 6 kg...
Its not shitlight, but if you put it in a nice backpack, it isnt that terrible.

But most of all....the Cintiq alone costs 2000 USD. A powerful laptop means adding somewhere between 1000 and 2000 USD. 3000 to 4000 dollars. Fuuuuucck....

Thats would indeed be the price range... Mind you it would be aimed at professionals...

Aaaand the average size, DPI and number of layers in your Photoshop file is...?
I really don't see the point in such device for solely sketching or doodling considering it's price range. Esspecially if it's professionals that are using it. Seriously, using a 3000-4000 USD tablet computer for sketching on a train...? O_o

But yes, the smaller (Babmoo-sized...?) versions would indeed be more feasible...on the price range. Then comes the horror of fitting all that hardware in a smaller shell.

#1 - I kinda meant products that are widely available to consumers.
#2 - Got any links about that? Despite my skepticism towards it, I'm still curious to see how the tests have worked out.

So did anyone miss me?

Not really...but please don't leave again sweet prince.

Would it be cool to ask for a critique in here? Or should I take it to the critiquing thread and bump it back up from obscurity? I think I just answered my own question. That's why it's called the critiquing thread.
