New Surface Pro

My old ASUS R1F tablet PC was on it’s last legs.  The hinge on it was busted, my AC adapter was shot, the battery only lasted 30 seconds and it was getting slower and slower as time went on.  I knew I would need something new, but I was hoping to make it last until after Christmas.  Sadly, that wasn’t going to happen.  So off to the store I go and purchase and new shiny Microsoft Surface Pro.  After doing a bunch of research on the tablet/PC hybrid, it seemed to be my best option.  Plus, lots of other artists in the art community seem to be giving it two thumbs up.

So far, things have been super nice with it.  It’s starts up super fast and my Photoshop loads extremely quick.  I did have to wrestle with it a bit to get going, but that seems a bit normal.  The Surface dose have a slightly different feel when it comes to drawing with the stylus.  That’s to be expected though, and if I’m brave enough I can make some adjustments to it… or I can just live with it.  We’ll have to wait and see.  A friend of mine also bought one two days after me, so we’re sort of comparing our experiences with it and using each other for tips and advice.  Now I don’t have to worry about my Tablet PC konking out and me losing a bunch of art at the same time.  That would have sucked huge balls.  I hope to have a pic to post from this new one toy soon so you can all judge if my work has changed at all, if any as I adjust to it.  Laters. ^_^
