EEVILMURRAY Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 I've been toying with the idea for awhile, but the time has come. Does anyone know of a decently priced decent tablet? Because I'm cheap I've noticed this on Amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Trust-Slimline-Design-Tablet-TB-5300/dp/B0012RKSYI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top Any adviceings?
AeroScap Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 you should be looking in the wacom branding! but that's is as far as I know!
Raining_again Posted September 24, 2009 Posted September 24, 2009 Don't buy a cheap one, because you'll only regret it. Cheap ones are absolute rubbish. I'd advise a Wacom Bamboo, but I would think its maybe outside of your budget. On the plus side the Bamboo doesn't need batteries.
Wesley Posted September 25, 2009 Posted September 25, 2009 May wanna look at the MTE-450K model - but not for £80 considering I picked it up last year for £50.
fex Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 Steer clear of Trust their products are cheap shit... I've played on a cheap tablet, and its frustrating. I'd rather have no tablet than a cheap tablet.
Strider Posted September 26, 2009 Posted September 26, 2009 There are wacom tablets in Aldi stores tomorrow: http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers/2827_11342.htm?WT.mc_id=2009-09-25-16-40

I'll have to see if I could harass a local Aldi for that. They need to do that deal again. Everywhere seems so expensive As for the Wacom, just had a look at Play.com and saw some decent looking things. A bamboo thingy http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3477733/Wacom-Bamboo-One-Tablet/Product.html And this which does other stuff? http://www.play.com/PC/PCs/4-/3317835/Trust-TB-3100-Wireless-Design-And-Work-Tablet-400-USB-Mouse-Digitizer-Stylus/Product.html Although I won't need the mouse.

Raining_again Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 (edited) for the love of god don't buy a Trust brand tablet. The mouse is just a pointless addon. And probably requires batteries. I've had a Trust tablet and it was a pile of shit. I paid 30 pound for it too. Wasn't worth 50p imo. The other one you linked looks like the "younger brother" to the Bamboo model that I have, seems to be decent enough. Edited September 29, 2009 by Raining_again
Shorty Posted September 29, 2009 Posted September 29, 2009 Oooh temptedings... I'll have to see if I could harass a local Aldi for that. They need to do that deal again. When they did that deal, they didn't have the tablets out in the store, they kept them behind the counter and you had to ask for one. So if you call your local Aldi and check, they might still have them in stock and maybe even still doing that £39.99 pricetag. they're small, (A6 I think) but that's a good price.
