I've took the dive into using a tablet early last year. I've always heard bad stuff about them so I never bothered with one. I then bumped into a Wacom ad so I decided to look into it. I then found a wide variety of tablets available. So at the end, because of price, I went with the Small Bamboo Fun.

I love it. It is totally awesome. It even feels weird now to use a mouse. I can't imagine working without it.

Well now it has been upgraded. The new one is called Bamboo Touch. It is basically the same but now can be used as a touch pad like on your laptop. This is pretty cool. I went to go look at it today and found it at Best Buy for $99. I then saw that the new Intuos 4 was $199. Not much of a price difference since I've thought that the Intuos was more of a "pro-grade" tablet.

My question are....
1) Is the Intuos that much better of a tablet?

I've also looked at the tablets that are screens. I've seen some videos here of some artist that use the Cintiq. The one that I think I like is the 12WX. It is compact and portable. Plus the most affordable of the two I've seen.

2) Does anybody have any good/bad things about this tablet (Cintiq 12WX)?
3) How does this compare to the Bamboo or Intuos?

If anybody has help, I'd like to hear it. I've looked at reviews online but they are so all over the place.
Well thats it for now. Hope to hear from somebody

Thanks,
JP
