Purchasing A Tablet

[Khawner_]

Ok, so I have finally got enough money to (hopefully) get myself a decent tablet. But I'm not sure which one to get. A few animators I know complain about certain ones breaking down, so obviously, I want a good tablet that will also not screw me over. So...which one should I get? My budget is a little over 300$.

Wacom Intuos 4

just buy a bamboo tablet dont be so picky just get that its just easy to use and also very cheap

also if you get a more expensive wacom tablet that doesnt make you a better artist just get a wacom bamboo tablet

buying a more expensive tablet WILL allow you to refine your skills further digitally. At a certain point, a crappy tablet is a frustrating hindrance.

Well.. I use a graphire 3 (wacom) tablet.
It was kinda cheap and it's works fine.
I'm thinking of getting a new one though, I've had this one for years

[jjjjjjjjjj]

I use a Medium Bamboo tablet which cost me only 150 buckz the feel of it is almost like paper i dont know if anyone else gets that feelin. This might be a good thing or bad thing if you are used to other tablets.

the feel of it is almost like paper

also my tablet only costed 60 euros

I keep seeing this topic name and reading it as "Purchasing A Toilet"

I got a Grapire CTE-630, apparently they don't make these anymore since i've had it for a few years and i called the wacom call center and they don't make the pen from my brand of tablet anymore, but the pen from a bamboo fun would work exactly the same as it used to when it was brand new.

I've spilt water inside my wacom several times and it hasnt broke yet

[Orangebeef]

i have have a bamboo fun its nice but

originally on this computer it would automatically switch to mouse mode and it's pressure sensitity would "turn off" i guess

every 3 minutes or so of being turned on

so i'd have to replug it in and the same thing would happen, so i emailed sum guy from wacom and he linked me a new driver

so now every 3 minutes when it fucks up it stays fucked up for 5 seconds and then goes back 2 being good



The Story of Orangebeef's Tablet

actually i just realized khawner made this thread so how about instead of buying a tablet and making horrible horrible "art" with it you just save yourself a lot of time and money and uninstall flash

God damn it, I already bought the Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet. Always gotta fucking wait to tell me this shit.

Or if you looked down, you would have realized I was selling a fucking Intuos...
