Graphic Design Tablets.

How do you click with the sylus thing? Do you tap it twice or something?

something like that yea, it's awkward to say the least

i have one it was a volito 2 from wacom but through amazon and itts really good it is only a6 size i think but i got used to it and think its great if your looking for a cheap one to start of with

[flick]

yeah you can use it pretty much like your touch pad, only your finger is the pen and there's buttons on it for other funky stuff :)

prices vary and also depend what size you're after. I have an A5 Wacom Graphire which is ace but you can get just as good results with an A6 sized tablet. Mine was around £100 i think (it was a present) and that was from PC World and at the time, PC World were selling the A6 sized one for about £60.

Hope that helps :)

god, it's all coming back to me now - ages since i been down in leicester, there a computer shop on charles street - well, there used too be, another one around there too i recall, on a street corner, apple signs in window, definitely one up london road - best to try em all eh

[Ozwin]

Haha yeah, there's a lot of computer shops in Leicester you just have to go in to know about them a lot of the time.

I'm told Graphire and Bamboo are good ones to look out for too. Made by Wacom but are still as good as their own brand ones.

yeah

I dont know what the sizes of the tablets(A5, A6, etc..) but I own a graphire 4X6 I bought a couple years back that works pretty well for me, I paid about $70(US) for it. I would imagine they have gone down in price now or there may be another one by wacom that has replaced it in that price range. I havent looked. It's still a really nice tablet. Its easy to use. I use a PC and it had plenty of options for customization so that it was easier for me to use. I still dream of owning the wacom cintiq but that is far beyond my price range, anyhow good luck on your search for the right equipment.
