There are also many laptops and desktop monitors with
touchscreen functionality, of course.

Hello Jim, There are 100+ tablet PCs on the market.
Many have a built-in 'webcam' for videoconferencing.
I think all can be used with a stylus, if included
or not. E.g. Samsung Galaxy S, Apple iPad, Google
Nexus 9, LG G pad X, etc. Take a walk thru a Best
Buy. If you'd like real test results, I can send
you some specific recommendations.

Hello Jim, There are 100+ tablet PCs on the market. I think all
can be used with a stylus, if included or not. E.g. Samsung Galaxy S,
Apple iPad, Google Nexus 9, LG G pad X, etc. Take a walk thru a Best
Buy. If you'd like real test results, I can send you some specific
recommendations.

Quite a few.
Before buying a (used) Wacom Intuos, I had used an Apitek USB tablet
that I acquired at a local hamfest. It worked tolerably well... as I
recall it didn't have pen-position support, but did have pressure
sensing. Its pen requires a battery (one AAA) rather than being
powered by induction (or whatever trick Wacom does with theirs) but
this wasn't really a problem.
Apitek seems to have their tablets OEMed by a number of companies at
the lower end of the market. There are a bunch of their older models
on eBay that you might want to look at (but do NOT buy a used tablet
unless it comes with a working stylus/pen!!)
You might want to check out the ones that Monoprice sells. I think
some of theirs were Apitek, and I've seen mention that they're
carrying some rebadged Huion tablets (which isn't a brand I know
anything about). Some of the simpler ones start at around $50. But,
check software compatibility carefully... some of the Monoprice models
don't seem to have support for more recent Microsoft operating
systems.

Thanks, Dave!
I don't need any high artistic capabilities... essentially just line
drawings of schematics and schematic blocks.
So I can do without any fancy-dancy pressure/angle-of-the-dangle
capability.
Is there a model for doodlers ?:-)

Wacom makes a whole series of drawing tablets which use styli. The
Intuos line comes in three sizes. They support a whole bunch of input
sensing... pressure and stylus angle, for instance... which drawing
programs can translate into drawing modifiers (press harder to draw a
thicker line or lay down heavier "ink", twist the pen to "airbrush"
ink at a different angle, etc.).
The Wacom Cintiq line are basically Intuos-like tablets fused to LCD
monitors, so you can draw right on the image you're seeing.

yeah, a touch screen or digitiser tablet should just work once you
connect the USB cable.

A client wants to use Skype Whiteboard / IDroo.
Looks gruesome to do sketches with a mouse :-(
Years ago I remember a tablet by Kurta (I actually designed a chipset
for it :-)
Does any such device exist today where you could use a stylus?

Pretty much any tablet PC uses a touchscreen and stylus instead of mouse.
Usually usb ports and wifi, but no cd/dvd drive so you use an external drive
if you need one, and you can plug in a usb mouse and keyboard, too, if you
get tired of the stylus. Pick one with a built in camera and you are ready
to skype.
