Need Advice on Graphics Tablets

Rate this Entry
Last few days and last week were horribly exhausting, not to mention stressful...so...

Since I'm trying not to buy any more games, I want to spend my money on something a little more...useful.
And so, I'm going to buy a graphics tablet!

However, I have no idea what kind of tablet to buy, since I'm not really much tech-savvie. To that end, I wanted to ask all of you digital artists hiding in BL, what model/brand/type/whatever it is/kind of tablet I should buy. As long as it doesn't go too much over $150, I guess I should be fine.

    not an artist but, basically, bigger is better

    you can get a pretty decently sized Wacom for 150 bucks

    I have a Nexus 7 and it is a great bang for the buck. About 200$ US and it runs Android so you can get pretty much any app you want.

    So...Wacom, and large. I see...(funnily, my uncle's tablet I've been borrowing so far is a Wacom)

    I think you're referring to a tablet computer. I meant a graphics tablet.

    Wacom Intuos ones are the best but they're well above your $150 limit.

    I hear Wacom Bamboo are okay for babby's first tablet.

    Way above your price limit but the Microsoft Surface Pro has wacom tech built in (pressure sensitivity) and I hear it's actually really good for drawing.

    ...I have Wacom Bamboo...Create (I think this is the one) but don't use it.
    If I could send it to you with the software I would but not sure if that would work out with the 'rents. ;~;

    Microsoft Surface Pro costs over 1000$ , he said his limit is 150-ish. Bad suggestion
