    I am wondering about how good tablet PCs would be for drawing. A Wacom Tablet with a screen on it costs upwards of $2000, so I'm thinking that a Tablet PC for $1500 would be a great deal. The question is how good is the quality of the touch pad on them.

    This thinkpad seems like a good deal, and if I can use it for art I would seriously consider going this route.

    The X41 Tablet is a nice device, I would suggest posting this question in the TabletPCReview sites forums here to get more focused answers:
