Selecting A Draw Tablet
#1
Today I went to a nearby Frys electronics store and happened down the Keyboard isele and found myself the draw tablet section. Among the selection they had in store, they had 2 tablets that cought my eye. One was this http://www.frys.com/product/5822203?site...IN_RSLT_PG Which they had an 6" x 5" model, and a 5" x 4". They were on sale at this Frys, both of them were 48 bucks. The other one was was similar in size to these, but from another company that I did not get the name remembered in my head.

Anyone know if the tablet in the link above is any good, or at least good for its price?

Tablet wise, I've always heard Wacom being the best at it. The newest Bamboo http://www.frys.com/product/6079568?site...IN_RSLT_PG. The previous version of Bamboo is also good, what I have, but I have no idea why it runs $30 more on that site. If you look around, they're sometimes on-sale around the $60 mark.

Ive seen some Bamboos, and if I were to get one of those, it would be from Office Depot (online) because I have a gift card with ~35 bucks on it for them. The main one that I saw on officedepot.com thought was this one http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/93...er-stylus/ , but Im not liking the draw surface of 6" x 4". The next one up is 100 dollars and only has a draw surface of 5" x 4".

The other one I saw may have been this one http://www.frys.com/product/5510840?site...IN_RSLT_PG which is 5" x 3", or a bigger model.

Well, it costs A LOT to get a tablet that's close to the size of a piece of 8.5 x 11 paper, so most people will do with a smaller size. It works and it won't be/isn't inconvenient at all (when drawing in photoshop, you can zoom in a little, do a stroke, use the little hand and grab the canvas, shift it a little and draw in the same spot on the tablet again).
