    I'm looking at buying myself a tablet. Because I'm buying it for myself, and not receiving it as a gift, I'm looking for something cheap. This will be my first tablet, so I don't need anything too fancy, just something good enough.

    These are the two I'm trying to decide between:

    http://www.amazon.com/Bamboo-Small-Pen-Tab...=A2JUPN4BTA3CZV
    http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16883101103

    If you know of something better in this price range, that would be cool too, but I'm just looking for opinions as to which I should get.

    whats wrong with the bamboo? i was kind of leaning towards that one because it seems that wacom is a much more trusted brand, and the other one doesn't have as good of reviews

    i dont need an expert tablet, i just don't want a major piece of junk. i dont have much money to spend on this

    wacom also makes bamboo do they not? lol
    i think overall wacom is a better brand, its what my college recommends for tablets as well.
    id go with the bamboo though. it only has 512 lvls of sensitivity where as the other one has 1024. But if you're not looking for something too fancy it should do.

    i have the Intuos3 6x8, although it was $400, it works great.

    also, i think a mouse with any tablet is pointless imo :P
    i already have a working mouse so why would i want another?
