My small intuos broke a while back so I've been thinking about getting an upgrade. I've seen the MovinkPad 11 and was very attracted to its features to be a "portable cintiq", however I heard it has a little latency and probably isn't best to be bought for that feature alone.

I need it as a second monitor for my laptop for when I'm at work since I have a cintiq 16 at home, so I don't know if I could justify the price of a MovinkPad 11 if I will be dissatisfied with the performance. I am open to just getting another intuos if it is the best in terms of performance for my needs, but a part of me has fomo for screen tablets, like they look more professional whereas screenless makes me feel like a dweeb LOL

Is it absolutely necessary to change the way pips are read depending on the system?

​

I fear I already know the answer (yes) but it is so hard to unlearn my preferred system being Thoth after all the time I've spent hammering it into my memory.

​

I've been using the Labyrinthos guide as reference for the most part as it has been the most helpful and I've seen another source recommending using the major arcana to help understand the themes of their corresponding number. But my instinct is to read how I'm used to. It feels sacrilegious haha

​

Has anyone else switched over to TdM? How did you get acclimatised? Any tips?

​

Context: I picked up TdM because I had gotten quite comfortable reading Thoth and wanted to expand my knowledge of tarot. I also wanted to use TdM as a low stakes day to day thing because I feel like those types of readings are often wasted on my Thoth deck.
