Sketching/Drawing on the HP slate 500

[HappystarNinja]

Do you know any art apps that will work for a HP touchpad?

[Hatterific]

Thanks for this. Shame it's not wacom, looks relatively skippy. It requires a battery?

[jos288]

@Hatterific your answer is in the video...

[deniz11muis1]

do you recommend this tablet with touch or the acer iconia w500? and which one is better with windows 8 ? and which one is more powerfull and faster?

[BigFatLoserDude]

The LS800 you demo'ed looked more responsive

[LatinVixen]

@BigFatLoserDude it's better being it is wacom. For art anything with wacom wins hands down.

[madheavy]

@LatinVixen Hey! You have an iPad, EA800, and a HP Slate. Which do you prefer for sketching?

[xjoeybrokenedgex]

hp is soooo bad, i would never buy that ...looks cool though

[ecsyntric]

You reek of talent :)! For how much and where did you buy this from?

[CodeMaster9000]

if u r using photoshop on Slate...this is a really a POWERFUL GADGET! gotta get one!

[CodeMaster9000]

Do your feel any laggy moments? How fast does Windows 7 starts up on it?

[CodeMaster9000]

what is its battery backup time with minimum brightness? It would be useless if it is not a bit like Nokia Boklet 3G of 12 hours!!!

[CodeMaster9000]

Do i need to press n hold that pen button evertime i draw something OR just when i need to bring/hide the menu COZ i hear u pressing button hard everytime

[jdparden]

Chrome touch?!?!?! Awesomeness I'd love to see a review with that although I know that you typically just review for art.

[mjktechgeek]

remember that it has multitouch. you can scroll anywhere on the screen with your finger. you dont need to use the tiny scrollbar. most non tablet users dont know this. you guys make windows 7 look worse than it is for touch.

[LatinVixen]

@mjktechgeek It doesn't matter how you use it, just however you want to. I choose to use the scroll bar which is fine. I just put chrome touch on it so it works closer to the ipad with web browsing. No need to be negative ;)

[bhabooshka]

@LatinVixen Hey, I was wondering if it can run Toon Boom Animate on it? I am searching but I couldn't find the answer. Wondering if you tried.

[LatinVixen]

@bhabooshka don't see why not

[imangro]

how about SAI?

[LatinVixen]

@imangro won't work with pressure

[jdparden]

Which version of sketchbook pro are you using? How do you think 2011 will work? Also what about Art Rage 2.5?

[LatinVixen]

@jdparden I have both 2.5 and 3 both work just fine. As for sketchbook I have 2010 I don't see why 2011 would not work :).

[jdparden]

Looking fwd to more go slate art vids. I just ordered mine and can't wait!

[HGEMAIL]

You can change the caption button size, scrollbar and dpi,

This will make it much easier to use with your fingers,

Windows should auto change this if installing on a tablet...

[LatinVixen]

@HGEMAIL the way it is now works just fine :)

[SuperAustin1235]

how much are the programs you have

[LatinVixen]

@SuperAustin1235 look them up online, they all come in a variety of prices.

[KittehFox]

wish I could draw something that awesome that fast x.x

[motmaitre]

Thanks a lot. Wonderful review. Could you please demo two things: (1) Inking in MS Office programs (Journal, Excel, Ppoint, etc)- how is the experience? (2) Using the on-screen keyboard for extended typing- e-mail, blogging, etc. I want to know if I can use this as my primary computer.

Thanks again.

[LatinVixen]

@motmaitre I mostly review these as art computers not much else. They on screen keyboard works ok, not as easy as the ipad. If I were you i would just get a bluetooth keyboard. All the office programs work just fine.

[motmaitre]

@LatinVixen Thanks. However, I was asking about the INKING experience in Office. This is because you said the experience is different between PS and Art Rage, and I actually draw my webcomic in Powerpoint:

[LatinVixen]

@motmaitre I have only used one note for a little bit and it works fine. If the program does not need to rely on the wintab driver then it should not be an issue. PS has to rely on the wintab driver, meaning the program is not flaw less like the others.

[madheavy]

Thanks for the video. drawing nerd + tablet geek = AWESOME!

[FriFreek]

It looks like it lags a great deal, do you like it better than all the other one's you've tried?

[LatinVixen]

@FriFreek The lag is not noticeable on art rage or sketchbook pro, not something that you can really tell when you are drawing. I want to take better video of me not holding the camera with one hand and do a full sketch to show how easy it is :D.

[SuperAustin1235]

how much is the slate..and how much are the skecthbook, manga studio and art rage

[SuperLollerz]

@LatinVixen thx. I will be looking into this, love your drawings too.

[SuperLollerz]

@LatinVixen is the brushes app worth the price though? Thx.

[LatinVixen]

@SuperLollerz I liked it when i used it.

[Thorbie]

I like that it has pressure, but it looks kinda laggy. I like that you get a pen point though, but I've gotten used to the Boxwave stylus for the ipad that it's second nature and the larger tip has zero impact on my drawing. I think the iPad dimensions are perfect. I don't think I'd like using something so small and narrow like the HP slate. The listed price I've seen are almost double the cheapest ipad. Then again the slate seems like a real pc, where the ipad is just for apps. Cool video

[LatinVixen]

@Thorbie no real lag that you can notice when drawing. The ipad well you can really notice the lag, I sure can. I no longer use the ipad because of how annoying it was to have to wear a glove not to touch the screen. Having full fledged apps such as art rage/sketchbook and photoshop are a huge plus. Both are good in their own way, I just use the ipad for other things now :).

I love full windows 7 on it.

[Thorbie]

@LatinVixen I got my ipad about 6-7 months ago after finding your channel, because I really only wanted to use it for art. I never knew there would be such an explosion of tablets after that. lol. I do wish I had something more like a real computer at times, but I have a laptop already. Maybe when my laptop becomes obsolete and prices go down I'll see what other options are out there. Thanks for exposing us to all the great tablets out there.

[LatinVixen]

@Thorbie oh check our my video on the motion computing ls800. Another tiny tablet, cheap to buy second hand on ebay and full windows OS as well :). Can find many of those for under $200.

I am always looking for tiny tablets to draw on :).

[CHOROQ92]

@LatinVixen hey latin i added but i checked my friends list but ur not there

[LatinVixen]

@CHOROQ92 I don't really friend others back, as I just post on youtube I don't really follow.

[CHOROQ92]

@LatinVixen ok



[CHOROQ92]

@LatinVixen hi

[DarkImage11]

nice, cute background ^^

[marioblan]

do you still use your ipad for drawing anymore? or do use that now? and between them both whats your favorite to use?

[LatinVixen]

@marioblan I do not use the ipad for drawing anymore, the ipad because my sort of netbook.

[SuperLollerz]

Brushes worth the price? (sorry, got cut of.)

[SuperLollerz]

@LatinVixen Which device do you think is the best to sketch with? The IPad, the motion tablet, this slate, eee note, etc. I currently have the IPad and have sketchbook Pro. I want to get brushes but is

[LatinVixen]

@SuperLollerz I sold my motion tablet. My main art computer is my toshiba m700. This one is my on the go art pc. The ipad became my netbook replacement. I don't draw on my ipad anymore.

[BigBadNightWolf]

how much did you pay for THIS one??? looks awesome X)

[LatinVixen]

@BigBadNightWolf check the hp site they go for $799

[BigBadNightWolf]

@LatinVixen thanks ^__^ and just wondering if you uploaded photoshop ect. on or did it come with???

[LatinVixen]

@BigBadNightWolf I installed it myself. It just comes with the basic programs. All the art programs I owned to start with.

[wolffreewolf]

What about useing paint.net?

[LatinVixen]

@wolffreewolf it's pretty basic but does not have pressure sensitivity.
