I'm Getting a Graphics Tablet! - DiscussWorldIssues - Socio-Economic Religion and Political Uncensored Debate

**Dwencejed** · 11-01-2005, 08:31 AM

Hey all,
Just trying to control my excitment, my parents have agreed to go halves with me in a Wacom Intuos3.
The best part is, it's gonna be 9'x12', which is huge - and I got a great deal.
What do you guys think of it?

**Svatudjw** · 11-01-2005, 10:27 AM

lucky you

**66paptroump** · 11-01-2005, 11:21 AM

I had a 6 x whatever it was. The pen broke. lol

no sh*t ? lol.... I could never afford one (at least not one of those big ones), they cost A LOT of ÂÂÂ over here. So yeah, you're lucky you got a great deal.
It's probably awsome.... what can I say ?...have fun!

**Fiesialenp** · 11-01-2005, 11:45 AM

I have a small Wacom (A5), but it's in a box in a friend's garage (I moved house). It's great for free art, but sometimes not as easy to use accurately. Great fun though. Enjoy

9'x12', that IS huge...

I take it you mean inches.
I've had a Wacom Oversize A4 (about 30cm x 23cm) for a year and I love it. I hardly bother with the mouse anymore and its great for photoshop. Plus I was getting RSI in my wrist from the mouse and now it doesn't hurt at all.

I was gonna say.........holy crap dude! You could sketch a life-size sub compact on a tablet that big. I need to get a tablet, they are just sort of expensive and my poor laptop needs more ram first.

**Nglvayhp** · 11-01-2005, 02:50 PM

you should go for it, its gotten easy these days to add RAM to laptops

**Aozenee** · 11-01-2005, 03:21 PM

Excuse the ignorance here, but is this some sort of design computer? what's the deal, does the stylus do double duty as a mouse and as a pen that you can draw with? sounds interesting.

**66paptroump** · 11-01-2005, 05:07 PM

the pen does double with a mouse but it ussually comes with its own mouse

**Accecyncphory** · 11-01-2005, 08:52 PM

I am looking into one of those as well...I believe best buy has them for 350...

**Dwencejed** · 11-01-2005, 09:57 PM

Well Graphics tablets are like unlimited drawing paper that transforms the image on the computer screen - there are some tablets made by Wacom that are actually thim, mobile PCs - but we're talking thousands of dollars here.
Lol, Jake, I mean 9" x 12". Not used to doing inches.
I'm so excited.

**Teprophopay** · 11-02-2005, 01:29 AM

I keeping my eye out for some on Ebay.com, damn I really want one!

**Dwencejed** · 12-01-2005, 08:25 AM

I checked on .com.au, there aren't many, but there are plenty of good deals on ebay.co.uk.
I saw a Wacom 6x8 Grapphire for 3 euros, it had no pen (which can be purchased!

**Teprophopay** · 12-01-2005, 09:50 AM

I am thinking about one of these...
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBay...DW:IT
The latest one went away for 131 bucks, heres the link...
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBay...DW:IT
But if can get one of those under 100 I will be happy, if not then one of these from the states would not be bad...

12x9 inches is a really good size so if I where to purchase any tablet it would have to be no smaller than this size. I see tablets for sale that are like 4x5 inches

What can you do with a size like that?

**Dwencejed** · 12-01-2005, 10:28 AM

9x12 is the top size for the basic range.
Once you get into 12x16 and 18x22, they cost thousands and are made to order.
