Is this an ideal desktop for sketching?

Maybe for a small child 5 - 7. It was really cheap and awkard to set up. I would not recommend this item.

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.

Hi Ricardo I did receive the Asus and am impressed with its capabilities, even running Win7 no problems, oncew in a while the pen get glitchie but I think its user error and as I have not installed CS5 Photoshop yet, won't know the complete difference between a 12inch Cintique verses a Asus. As far as operating system win 7 is great , connects to my network of 4 computers and print via wiresly easily. Good luck Enjoy

Absolutely. You won't have any trouble running 64bit Windows or apps like Photoshop CC.

I highly recommend Autodesk Sketchbook Pro. It is the easiest program to pick up. The tools and interface are a snap to learn. I've had the 2012 edition and currently have the 6th edition and they just keep getting better. All the brushes, pens, pencils just look more natural. Plus it's cheap compared to photoshop and adobe illustrator. I believe I paid 40$ each for both versions. They just came out with the 7th wich I am planning to upgrade soon. Go on youtube and watch what people can do with this program. It's amazing and beautiful. You will instantly want to buy it as soon as you finish the video.

This computer is amazing. It came with Windows 8 pro and you can work with Photoshop in it. It is a computer/tablet, with e-mail and everything. I have the wacom 24", it is very good, but you Need a computer attached in it. This one is lighter and easy to use.

Definitely. I am using this Laptop for work, also to design webpages and play some current 3D shooters, which it does nicely when plugged in. Of note, you can get this laptop without the annoying smudgy gloss black encasement at BB for 200 less, in matte-darkbrown, without the annoying fingerprints all over your laptop.

Preferably a drawing tablet...but a mouse and keyboard will do. A dedicated graphics card would probably be a bit more helpful than the on-board graphics.

It is "graphics challenged" so as long as you aren't seeking to do anything too taxing it will do just fine. This is an Atom processor with 2GB of RAM...it's a FLAT PANEL NETBOOK...would you consider a Netbook (functionality wise) for your use? If so..then yes this will work.. If not you'll need something else.

"I have not used this computer for graphics or video editing, but for everything that I have used it for (general computer use) it is fantastic. I bought this computer because my tabletop computer couldn't keep up with what I considered basic stuff like surfing the web or working in Excel or Word documents. The old computer would bog down if I had two or three programs going at once, but this laptop is lickity split. No matter how many programs I have running it has never slowed down one little bit, so I would think that it should work just fine with graphics and editing.

Yes! I use this to draw full on logo designs, and ads in the Adobe Creative Suite. I highly recommend it over a mouse any day when it comes to the art aspect of design.

You can totally run photoshop no problem on this machine. Theres a little bit of confusion when it come to their product offerings. There are basically two devices: The Wacom Cintiq Companion Hybrid, and wacom's Cintiq Companion. The 'Hybrid' model is much more affordable, and, by itself, can only run Android Apps (such as sketchbook pro..) otherwise it has the option to be attached to a computer to run Photoshop. The regular Companion Model, is much more expensive and IS a standalone device, and, really, not a bad one at that. Its plenty strong enough to run photoshop, and CAD.

I have not noticed that the colors or graphics are inferior so they must be o.k. It has actually been a good computer for my needs, fast and responsive. I use it for autocad which is pretty graphics heavy and haven't had any problems.

Onenote, Some Lenovo apps(Support, Kindle, Settings, Quicksnip, app shop, system update), Lenovo driver settings, all the basic windows 8 software, skype, Free trial to office, Evernote free trial(Onenote is far better due to offline availability), and I could go on it's a pretty neat package but there's A LOT of free stuff on the store with upgradability that's well worth it. If you're into sketching I highly recommend getting sketchbook express the stylus that comes with it works well with SE. Also if you do plan to get the tablet make sure to update everything drivers, intel graphics accelerator, and the apps before you go to windows 8.1. It will make your experience with it a whole helluva lot better. Cheers!

this depends on what the main task is. If you are using it for email and internet then you are good to go. If you are going to do some photoshop editing and 3d modeling then way too low. Hopefully this help.

The pen input is really nice for Adobe Creative suite. You'll have to download addition drivers from Wacom. So from that perspective it would be a great PS tool. But if I were to go that route I would rather spring for a core i5 surface pro 3. A traditional laptop should be more powerful dollar for dollar but you don't get the wacom digitizer.
