Is this an actual computer, or is it just for drawing?

It's a computer monitor only. It's touchscreen great to use with a Windows 7 or 8 system

This is a touch screen monitor for a computer. You can't do anything with it if you don't have a computer to connect it to.

The image is of the actual touch screen monitor.. not a computer. I have this hooked up to my PC running Window 7 and its fantastic.

No, this is not a computer. It's a special purpose device (technically a computer too) not made for games but for storage.

Probably not. It's more of a notebook or you could do drawings ect. Nothing bulky.

If you mean does it have a graphics card, yes. Just a standard performance one. Could a different/new graphics card be installed? / Yes. But, this is a low end machine by today's standards. Good for general office work.

It is small, but a little bulky. I would say you could sketch just fine as long as you had a support board behind your paper (as you can see there are cutouts on the easel). It's very portable and works best on a tabletop, though on your lap could work fine. My son uses it for sketches and has no real complaints other than sometimes the drawers will slide open a bit. It's fairly sturdy.

I think it would be great for drawing/doodling! I got mine and I LOVE it. And I'm by no means a professional. Comes with two fairly easy to use programs/software. It takes a few days to get used to, because you aren't looking at the tablet when you draw, but once you get the hang of it, it works like a charm! I think it'd be a great gift for your daughter, especially if she wants to get more into digital art. :D

Think of this like the touch pad of a laptop, but with a pen. You have to connect it to a computer for use. So, if it's just this alone, no. The drawing pad does not display anything.

Yes, they are. My home computers are PCs, but the school I am enrolled in for digital art uses Macs almost exclusively, and I am able to hook my tablet up to them and have it work almost instantly. They travel back and forth between Macs and PCs fabulously.

Okay, hopefully I've managed to edit this in time to stop the previous answer from sending out. I accidentally clicked "yes" because my mouse is acting weird and doesn't move properly. Long story. Anyway, I'm really sorry about that and I apologize even more in the next message. I explain in the next message that is displays the drawing on the computer screen, not that of the tablet. Only super expensive and huge tablets have a separate screen like that. Again, sorry for the lengthy answer comprised mainly of apologies.

that is correct. My friend has one with the NVIDIA chipset built upon the board. It produces stunning graphics on screen and with Corel Photoshop it breezes right thru picture manipulation.

Since it can only draw inside of computer programs, yes. Think of it as a fancy mouse and you've got the right idea.

I do not use the tablet for drawing. I use it most always for 3D modeling rather than a mouse. My uneducated guess is that it is an excellent and less expensive choice for graphics/drawing. My only complaint is a lack of a software settable pressure threshold as the pen engages with the slightest touch to the tablet.

Nope it's some integrated gpu. It's not a gaming PC if that's what you are going for.

Negative. It's simply used to take notes and doodle. Can't draw or take notes and connect to another device.

I use the Boogie Board Rip and don't think it can be used as an alternative input for a PC. You can capture sketches and drawings, but not in "real time"...the Wacom gives you an immediate pen-based input on your PC or Mac.

No Kim. the tablet is simplya surface interface. What you draw can only be seen on the monitor. I think that what you are looking for might be the touch screen monitor that supports Wacom pens. That is somewhere between 900 & 2000 dollars depending on the size you buy.

The latter -- it's like a Wacom tablet. You plug it in to the computer and it can be used in lieu of a mouse to move your cursor, or as a pressure-sensitive drawing device in programs like Photoshop.
