So, I have $100 to spend on a tablet, right. I've heard that Wacom is a reliable source, so I'll be sticking with that brand. I've been looking around on their website and I'm having trouble deciding what to buy... D:

I'm most interested in the Bamboo Fun. The small size is the same as my other option, but a tad more money, not so much that I can't afford it, though. Unless I want the medium size which is about another hundred dollars, which I MAY be able to afford if my parents let me keep more graduation money. It also, comes in a bunch of different colors like, black, white, blue etc.

The second one I'm looking at is the same size as the small Bamboo Fun tablet, but much less money. It only comes in one color, though, black, which I'd most likely get for the other one anyways.

Digibutter help make decision plx.

Personally, I prefer the Bamboo Fun (medium size) if I can afford it, but I want your opinion.

Go with the bigger one. More drawing space is good.

I have the bamboo. It works quite well for me. Mine was about $80 at Best Buy if I recall correctly. It really depends on what you need it for. If you're not going to do anything fancy with it, I recommend the bamboo.

My mom said I could keep another hundred from graduation money, so I'll most likely be buying the medium size Bamboo Fun. Thanks, guys. Also, I'll be sure to check out Best Buy before I make a final decision, just in case.

Get the biggest size you possibly can get your hands on. Though, if you do get a smaller size, you'll get used to it pretty quickly. You might just have to make a bigger canvas on whatever program you use.

I've used the Bamboo Fun and personally didn't like it. If you're using it for digital art, I don't suggest it - but if it's for office use, that's fine. I'm using a Wacom Intuos3 at the moment, and it's pretty small but it's great. I really do recommend the brand.

I've also used one that is released under many different brands, and can be found under Aiptek [http://uk.gizmodo.com/hyperpen.jpg] and it's pretty good. It lasted me a long time.



... Sorry if you're not looking for anymore suggestions. Dx I was delayed.

No, that's alright. I've read a lot of good things about the Bamboo Fun, and I'm probably getting that in a Medium size, but I'll be sure to check out those as well.
