[vet-mm] Graphics Tablets v2

Fri Dec 1 11:48:48 EST 2006

We bought a class pack of Wacom Graphire 3s last year  (there are 10 in a
pack with one spare stylus)This  year we bought a pack of Graphire 4s - the
students love them. We have one intuos tablet- very expensive- very nice to
use though :-)

I have a Graphire4 that's 6x8 and love it dearly.  The Intuos3 is out of my
price range, unfortunately, but I admire them from afar.

I bought mine from citysoftware.com.au (who are good, so long as an item is
in stock).  If you're after a noname one, try a computer swap meet - I saw a
6 by 8 one for $100 there.

They all seem pretty competitive - I used Computers Now, an Apple store here
in Geelong. The same model works on Mac or PC.

Believe it or not, a guy I work with picked up a no-name tablet at Aldi
(yes, Aldi) for $70 and he's pleased as Punch.

With the Wacom you can go for a 4x5 or a 9x11 size from memory - it depends
how you work but I'd go for the bigger one if you can afford it. It's the
same principle as clearing a bit of room on the desk to use the mouse; you
don't want to be bumping into the edges.

Thanks for the feedback Rob.  Could you recommend a vendor for these?

A Cintiq runs into 1000's of $ - that's the one that is effectively a
monitor you draw on - I've used one and its great, but the cost.

I use a Wacom tablet and purchased another this year for my son - I
recommend these - excellent quality at a reasonable price.

Prices vary depending on size and model - can't remember exactly what I paid
- I think it was about $128 on special educational pricing - that was a shop
special too.

Reposted

Can anyone recommend a good quality graphics tablet?  

I've heard that there are new ones that display the image on the board
itself.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
