Which could be possibly the best laptop to work as an illustrator/comic artist? I have found many possiblities in the market. Probably the more logical choice could be a Tablet PC. But the TouchSmart HP laptop could also be a good choice. Any suggestions?

I guess I'd just go for anything that could handle the program you'd most likely be running for this. Are you gonna be using paint... or photoshop? lol

In any case I'd recomend a high end drawing pad... if thats what they're called lol

like this...

Watch the video and the advertisement of the Illustrator program they have. Looks good. Then again I'm no artist




AND! Watch the video for this product!

Tablet PC, you so sure of that? Man I would say get a Mac and get a Waccom tablet.

At my work all my users have a copy of an app called Comic Life, which is an application built for publishing web comics. It is Mac only, and not that bad.

What kind of work are you going to be getting into? I have supported many graphic design departments over the years.
