Tablet Question

[PimpChimp]

Okay, all. I'm in the market for a tablet, but I hear that the prices for the official Wacoms are just a tad steep. So I was wondering what other companies may have worthwhile tablets to look into purchasing, and what the price tags are on these. Thanks.

I've been asking about the quality, but haven't gotten too far with answers. I have my eye on a 9" x 12" Aiptek that runs about a c-note and a half at Circuit City or Best Buy.

Pimp (I've always wanted to say that )...
You may want to check into getting the $100 dollar version of the wacom tablet. Its smaller but its a wacom and the brand is proven worthy. I did a test profile for you- small workspace, graphic designer, and it suggested the Intuos2 4x5. The reason I entered small workspace is the $100 dollar version is small. If you want to see what they look like, go to wacom.com

Well, what I didn't say was . . .

When I got jacked the lowlife piece of shit theives stole a wacom graphire 2 from me. I was just getting good with it too. It is sturdy, a GREAT deal and it IS a wacom. Intuos as I understand it is a higher quality/priced tablet.

My earlier post was just to say you could spend a comparable amount of cash and get a bigger tablet. I thought the 4x5 tablet was a tad teensy.

Graphire ! That's what those little plastic different colored buggers are called. I see them all the time at CompUsa.

Thanks for the replies all, but doesn't the small Wacom become a bit uncomfortable when colouring larger pictures?

I'm colorblind but the small one I have works for me.
