The smallest one, it seems like I can afford. So I was wondering if that isn't 'too small'. I also notice the wacoms are A LOT more expensive then the other tablets that are in the stores nearby, if anyone has a non-wacom tablet, and is satisfied with it, please leave me the details
Thanks |

Buy Wacom, if you can afford Intious,
Other Tablets suxx big times. I have Aiptek 6*8, it is very bad tablet. Pen is very bulku and uncomfortable. + Pens break very fast. There in not Tilting settings, only pressure settings. Tablet Surface is very slick, and makes it hard to draw. + It has some problems with USB Drivers.
I am planning to buy wacom soon. |

with tablets...the biggest doesnt necessarily mean better they just make the different sizes depending on how much room you have on your desk to work with...but if you cant afford the intuos the graphires are just as good and they come in 3 nify colors too 
but mostly all my friends have the graphire2 and they have absolutly NO complaints from it
heh and i was almost conned into buying an aiptek im soooooooo glad that i got a wacom instead...even though the pens are still a little bulky..but no where near as fat as those...and the rubber on them is also kind of annoying at times (intuos) |

| Don't get the 4X5. I had one - they are a pain to use because they are so small! Save money and get 6X8. |

you should be able to get old 12"x12" oversizes, the serial port versions, for cheap nowadays.
edit, note, from what i've seen, thanks to the fact that you can adjust the serial port bandwidth that it uses, you get smoother pen strokes and shiz with the serial port version compared to the usb ones...

The intuos mouse is EXTREMELY good as a paper weight. It's nice as a door stop as well. Plenty of uses.  |
