Bamboo Pen & Touch Graphics Tablet

[Drift]

What is the best type to get for a budget of around £65 to £70?
Its not for me but my lad, he wanted the cheaper version but I told him we could stretch a bit more as part of his Christmas present, and he said this will help him in collage.
So whats the best to go for in that price range as I know sod all about them?

Saw these in PC World (we have pc world vouchers that need to be used )

Depends what he wants to do

Charlie the gf uses a Wacom CTF 420 which is an A5 tablet and she draws things such as http://d.facdn.net/art/charlieb/1316821 ... b_benz.png him!

Wheras i have a massive Genius A4 tablet and can barely draw (check out Genius ones though they are nice!)

Hi ste, I have the older version of the second link, your son will not be diapointed with that one what ever you go for look for the one's that have replacement nibs (they do wear down more than you think) but also look out for ones that have the full adobe software with them as a freeB also look at some of the camera web site stores such as camera wherahouse or pixmedia you may find them a bit cheeper but by not much but Bamboo are a good make

Hope this helps
