Title: Tablet suggestions?
Post by: Smitty the Airship Pirate on February 23, 2011, 01:15:07 AM

I am thinking of buying a tablet so I can more accurately do schoolwork as well as get back into to drawing but I am unsure of what to get.

My price range is 40-200 dollars however I would love to save money.

Give me your suggestions!

I'll suggest what I always suggest when this topic comes up...one of the Wacom Bamboo tablets.
The Wacom Bamboo Craft is $129.99 and the Wacom Bamboo Fun is $199.99. There are cheaper ones though, but in my opinion, those ones are better for more artistic purposes.

I second Vee's statement. :P

I found a Wacom Bamboo fun for $178
and a Wacom Bamboo Craft for $120 both on Tigerdirect.
I think I will get the Wacom Bamboo Craft, it is a good size and it provides what I need.

Thanks for the suggestions but I am still up for more suggestions if they come this way.

I personally use a Wacom Bamboo Pen, it's cheaper as it doesn't come bundles with all the software.

Actually, I may find something useful here as well since I need to acquire a tablet within the next few months. *takes notes*

I've been borrowing a Bamboo Fun tablet and I think it works wonderfully. No need for a huge thing, the pen is comfortable... the only negative is that it bugs sometimes when I use Gimp software (better to draw pixels with than PS), and it won't work properly. I have yet to figure how to fix it rather than reinstall the software.
