Slate Tablets Forever!!!
I can sit up straight and look straight ahead at my monitor, while keeping my tablet in my lap propped up against my desk, making it a nice comfortable angle. I can draw for hours with no strain whatsoever.
Bonus: my hand is never in the way of what I make.
artists, out of curiousity: do you prefer a screen tablet, or a slablet?
The other thing is, that I can draw on a high quality monitor. Like, screen tablets are 'fine' but they're no BenQ (still saving up for one)
Slate tablets also just last longer, have fewer points of failure, are more portable, less fragile, and cheaper.

Even with features like palm rejection I still gotta hold it all weird. I'd hate that for my main device, that's why I use slate.
