I would like to draw by hand with a sort of digital pen utensil on a flat electronic tablet. I'm not sure what that would be called, other than what I call them. Would anybody recommend to me where I can look to purchase something like what I described? I expect that Adobe software would work with those things.

If you are an artiest that uses conventional art supplies what size tablet or display tablet you would prefer would be hard to say. I just play with images an prefer a small tablet the is not a display.  Hands and fingers off my display please. Im not a fam of touch. I keep gong places don't want to go and when I want to go some place the browser doesn't seem to see my finger touch till a bang on the display..

If you are also doing to edit video and play games a beefier system and display Adapter would be a good choice .  These days SSD is a must IMO

There are many tablets available these days.  Wacon Intuos prices are high.   Still I buy Wacom Intuos.  Devices like Wacom Mobile studio are overpriced IMO and have many finger prints. A small Microsoft Surface pro is more mobile than a Wacom Mobile studio

What should I consider when looking, or what should I look for in electronic drawing tablets?

Isn't Photoshop coming foe iPad?  I thought there was an announcement at MAX.

Otherwise, Shine, what do you have now?  i.e. do you own a computer or laptop?


Counting chicken before their eggs hatch are we.  How many bugs will be in the new iPad version  Photoshop CC. Will the new iPad Photoshop CC touch UI be ported to Windows for touch displays like the Surface pro. Will eggs actually hatch with viable chickens? That work, cluck and crack like Photoshop?
