Graphics Tablets

[H0BJ0B]

Hey,

My attempt at jacking a graphics tablet from school went terribly wrong and so I'm being forced into having to buy one.

That one looks cheap and cool? Do you guys agree?

And are they worth getting for home use? Will I just put it away after 3 days of it?

Thanks,
Danny

Looked into getting one once and the only advise i was givven is get a WAYCOM one.

You tried to steal one from school!? rofl.

Looks alright, i had one like that ages ago, but with mouse ;)

Lol Dan ye - WAYCOM seem to be the big tablet sellers out there but they're quite expensive.

Stephen - guilty as charged! They were sitting there in a box out for anyone to take and I tried to quickly take one but then the head of IT came in. Lol.

Yeah, if you want a good tablet you really should go for a WACOM tablet :)

I have one similar to this: http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3477733/Wacom-Bamboo-One-Tablet/Product.html?cm_mmc=Froogle-_-PC-_-Accessories-_-Wacom%2BBamboo%2BOne%2BTablet&source=5066&engine=froogle_pc&keyword=Wacom+Bamboo+One+Tablet which I got from school :)

I remember seeing them reasonably cheap when I was in WH Smith but I doubt that will still be happening.

Rule of thumb is, a good tablet is normally a WACOM tablet.

Johno!, are they actually any good for home use? I've used them a bunch of times at school however would I use it a lot at home to do stuff?

Hey :)

Yeah I would say so, my friend has one and I know he uses it instead of a mouse. It takes a while to get used to, but once you do it is pretty good :)
