Reviews of draw tablets

Neshi · Oct 29, 2010, 05:21 AM

as I am an architect student, drawing tablets get more and more interesting.
I have never seen one being reviewed here (did I maybe miss it) and was wondering if this was a possibility to include in the standard fare that's being reviewed on a regular basis (mobo's, gfx, etc)

what would be a good entry model, what are the things to look out for, etc. etc.

cheers.

If you could do with a small tablet then their Bamboo series gives you good functionality for the money. I haven't heard of anything less expensive that can compete. On more professional tablets though there seem to be a couple of alternatives.

Agreed. Agreed. Ag.... you get the idea.

Most people I sell this to go for the Bamboo Pen as it's the cheapest @$49, but I prefer the Bamboo Pen & Touch (which also comes with Adobe Photoshop Elements 7) @ $99. Or if you need a bigger pad, grab the medium sized Bamboo Fun for $199.
