Background: (skip if you don't give a shit)
My tablet broke in January so my sister lent me her tablet PC. well she quit her job to work at a better place of working, so the Pfizer-owned tablet had to be relinquished. Now I'm shopping for a new computing thingy.
I'm going to college for Cinema/animation and I need a good tablet PC to effectively do the projects I'll be doing.
Why a Tablet PC? Because after experimenting with one for 3 months I've decided that the screen interface is far better of an experience for me than that of a tablet USB on a regular computer.
Why a laptop? Because I'm going to college and need a laptop for note taking, portableness, etc etc etc.
Why a PC? As much as I love iMovie and Final Cut Pro PCs are about half the price and are much better in my opinion.

Query:
-I need the following machine:
-Tablet PC Penabled or Digitized by Wacom
-PC Laptop
-Good specs (unshameful RAM, Hard drive, Graphics Card and other things)
-Good screen size (12.1 inches seems like the normal one)
-Lowest cost possible
-I have no idea how to know this, but ****, you might. The wacom digitizer would preferably work in Adobe products for sensitivity recognition.

So please post suggestions you may have for computing devices that I might purchase.

I've searched for 2 hours and the best I found was the $1549 one in the following link:

edit: and don't say HP tx2z or tx2500z because I've looked into it, and they don't look good for a few reasons.

Have a flick through here: http://www.tabletpcreview.com/

If you find any you like do some research on it and just use that for finding type of tablet PC, tbh, I've used a tablet PC and a Mac variation and I found them both rather lacking in brute force for running programs or having photoshop and flash, for example, open at the same time.

Why not buy a laptop and one of these http://www.touchscreens.com/products-addon.html

Holy shit, thats what I was looking for

Hey kitsune, buy this one and tell me how it works :D I mean-
if you can scratch your notebook display
if its comfortable
if its precise
etc

But I don;'t know how WELL it works for sensitivity

Well, If I were you I wouldnt buy it, I think it sucks, I watched a few videos on youtube and it really sucks, or the guy cant use it.
Here are some reasons
- it isnt precise
- its pretty weird to use/un comfortable
- your display keeps moving (when you push)

here is something I found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DUwAtDPHItY
I lol'd when he missclickled and opened that media player :)

Well I think a smart person could calibrate it.

Best of both worlds.
