Caved into my impulsive spending and bombed $270 on a Dell Venue 8 Pro, keyboard case, digitizer stylus, adaptors, and 3 64gb micro SD cards (I intend to only use one for the tablet, the other two are for my computer, or perhaps as spares. I picked them up cheap)
Now, I can finally into digital art, can easily carry my language programs around with me in my purse, and if I go back to school in the fall (if I figure out how to do it) have something light and with a good battery life to take to class rather than lug around my laptop, which gets 4 hours max, usually more like 3, as it was meant to play games and watch movies, not take to class.
