For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

    Tablets do have a singular purpose, being drawing.

    Of course, most tablets that aren’t specially built for it (or are from Apple) are terrible at it, but I definitely wouldn’t want to draw on a phone or with a mouse.

      I seem to recall there being purpose-built drawing tablets that are only drawing tablets, and act as a peripheral to a computer rather than a computer unto themselves. That sounds good on paper, since then you can still use the keyboard and mouse for everything other than drawing, but I’ve never used one, so I wouldn’t know.

      Also, there are laptops with touchscreens and full-range hinges. With that, you could do your drawing on an actual, fully-functional laptop. I haven’t used one of those, either, though. I do have a laptop with a touchscreen, which could in theory be used for drawing, but it has a normal laptop hinge and can’t be held like a tablet or paper notebook, so actually drawing on it is cumbersome at best.
