You have to be connected to a computer in order to use the Pro13, although the functions of the pad are independent - you need the power and brains of the computer to work behind the scenes. You may want to upgrade to the Wacom version that is a stand-alone and does not have to be connected. For working on the 'go', that would be my choice and I would definitely spend the extra money to get that one. I kind of wish I had, although I don't usually draw 'on the go' so this version (Pro13) being attached to my computer is not a big problem with me . aI did have to dedicate one of my computers to it as it's a big deal to hook up so I just leave the 'brain-computer attached at all times). The Pro13 is capable of using by looking directly at the pad and not the computer, giving the feel of actually drawing on paper (which was my reason for upgrading from the little Wacom pad I originally purchased). Mine works fine for my needs and I love it! If you are going to spend that much money anyway - move up to the next level that's self-contained as a computer itself and you'd be better off using that on the 'go.' ps - One more hint - my pad just didn't sit in my lap right. My husband fashioned a piece of plywood, larger than the Pro-13, and the size that works well in my lap, and we used velcro to attach the Wacom 13. Now it works perfectly just to sit and draw at the angle I love and not worry about having to hold the pad at a certain angle all the time.
