The wife's laptop is getting very old, and she's suggested she wants her next machine to be a tablet.
Now, she is saying she wants to get into some digital design using her new tablet.
Our house is an Apple-free zone.
I don't know hardly anything about the hardware or software one might use for digital design. I've always been interested but I've not pulled the trigger and bought anything.
Ideally, I'd like a Windows 10 tablet/convertible/detachable and some suggestions for a stylus and software with the complete investment being around $500. To me, this doesn't seem unreasonable but if it's unreasonable that's good information to have as well.
I'm pretty sure we want a pen with pressure sensitivity and some searches today have shown people suggesting a machine with a 'digitizer'. I don't fully understand that but I thought all touch screens had digitizers? Also, I've found absolutely nothing available in the Android realm unless you get a specific Samsung device. If an Android were cheap enough, I'd be more than happy to go that route.
