Mouse vs. Tablet

They’re expensive though Rob, aren’t they? About the price of a well built PC??
Mine is a well-built PC, an HP that cost me a little less than two grand last year and has since
been superceded by much higher spec machines with even bigger screens (mine is only 19″, but think
of that as a 19″ tablet) and a good €400 cheaper…Very interesting Rob!! That might be the way to go in the midterm, probably due in part to a perception shift away from the mouse, or the pen.. (I still prefer real buttons to a ‘new fangled’ touchscreen phone :lol: )

The only negative thing I have to say about using a Wacom is that sometimes it can take a good few seconds for the pen to register with the tablet if you take it away from it….which probably doesn’t sound like much, but is VERY irritating!
Thanks for that – I know what you mean, not unlike using an application that behaves with a delay when moving sliders – gets onerous after a while as you’re forever ‘waiting’.
I’ve since found out that my random ‘spiking’ issue with the mouse in Lightroom also occurs for people using a Wacom (as quoted) so it seems the issue itself is more an application thing than a rogue computer & mouse and their vendetta against me.
Also learned that the Wacom had some performance or consistency issues but that an update was issued by Wacom this week which seems to have cleared that up, and it’s now performing pretty well again (in the context of Lightroom at least).
Maybe it’s on the cards then, perhaps Santa will invoice me for one whilst he can :lol: (redundancy looming :( )

I use an HP Touchsmart screen and a stylus, which I’d swear by. I can work directly on my images
right on the screen, no second guessing, fine details no problem at all. I’ve never used a tablet, but
I can’t imagine ever taking that step backwards. Tablets are all very well, but buy a cheap one
that you won’t mind throwing out when you want to replace it with a touch screen…Rob.
Is that the new touchscreen PC? I saw one recently in a shop in town but I can’t remember what make. While I’m a Mac person myself, I thought this machine was seriously impressive, If ever I saw something that seamlessly integrated every media item in the house, then this was it. If you have cable TV which also carries you broadband and radio then this can handle all. When you consider, a HD TV, quality PC, radio and sound system all in one, then it’s not that expensive really. It probably plays BlueRay too, certainly DVD and CD and is an enlarged tablet (does it have all the functions of a Wacom?).
