Advice on graphics tablets for mbp?

Setun · 2008-06-05 17:25:17

Hey folks, looking for any recommendations on a graphics tablet for a mac book pro? I'm mainly going to be using it with drawing apps (photoshop, maybe Corel), and budget wise am looking for a mid-range price (not really anything way over €200, or is that too little??) Any advice/recommendations are welcome!

Hard to beat the Wacom tablets for quality and compatibility tbh. Though they do tend to be expensive but they are pressure sensitive if that's important to you.

Get a small Wacom & try it out.
Was talking to my photographer neighbour actually & he reckons the A5-sized Wacoms are nicer to have around than the A4s. Still, whatever suits you best size-wise...

Great, thanks for the replies. I've researched wacom but there's another crowd called Aiptek that seemingly do great tablets at a reasonable price. Has anyone had any experience with them at all?
