      Price compare online - we picked it up at BestBuy since it's the only retailer in the region that stocks 'em.

      I don't have a comparative basis to judge whether it's the 'end-all' brand - but they've been makin' them a lot of years and I've always heard good reviews from peeps.

        If you do any sort of graphics-related work, a Wacom tablet will change your life. Get more done faster and more accurately, while saving your wrists for more important work.

          I used to have a large wacom intuos 2 a few years ago... But it got lost during a move from LA to San Diego...

          Great product though.

              I don't use a Wacom tablet, but i use a tabletpc daily for about 40% of my workload..the pen has completely changed everything for me.

              Unfortunately, i can only take the work so far on a tablet. I dream of one day having an artist table, where the table itself is one giant screen..and i can sit there with a pen and do all my work. That would rock my world.

              Something like this:

                  I love my wacom tablet.. I can't stand to use a mouse now on a regular computer. it just feels wrong.

                  I think Wacom has the Cintiq full screen or something along those lines that is the monitor you can work directly on. Not sure if I would want one. It would be cool, but i think you would be cleaning handprints off of it all the time.

                    Anyone use a graphics tablet as a complete mouse replacement for day to day, non-graphics stuff? It's been recommended to help with stiffness in my arm and shoulder but it would be nice to hear from someone who uses one that way.
                    gone. long gone.

                      This one came with a mouse included - so I have the choice of not usin' the pen.

                      But I'll likely use the pen mostly at first...to get accustomed to it.

                        Yeah... It sucked LOL

                        No point in replacing it really as I dont really do anywhere near the amount of graphics stuff anymore to warrant it...

                        I used to do a lot of stuff for other people, but these days I dont take in work from others anymore.

                        I am just concentrating on shooting content for my own site... All the graphical stuff is already in place. So its not worth it really...

                        Great product to use though. But not worthy f having one now, when all it would do would be take up space, look nice, and ultimately gather dust !
