For the tablet, I use a Modbook! It's a Mac converted to a tablet. I love it. Only downside is that I really prefer to have it on an easel when I'm working. I love my hotkeys and always have the bluetooth keyboard nearby -- so it's not *quite* as portable, but it's still portable. I have a portable easel, too. (: Hiya Dawn –
