Standalone drawing tablet recommendations
Overview
These are recommendations for standalone tablets: tablets that have have screens and can be used without a computer. A standalone drawing tablet is ideal if you need to draw away from home or away from your desk.
Recommendations by device type
Pen-enabled mobile computer recommendations ★★★
I recommend this type if mobility is your highest priority and you don't need to use a desktop OS and desktop apps.
Pen-enabled laptop recommendations
I recommend this type if you need the full power of a desktop OS and desktop versions of applications.
I do not recommend this type. Too expensive to buy. Too expensive to repair. Limited or no upgradeability.
