The best part about the Wacom tablets is the fact they now offer one at a price that isn't too expsensive...I have had mine for several years now and paid around 250.00 for it...The quivalent of my tablet today is priced right around 100.00...A definite must for anyone doing any type of artwork whether it be 2d or 3d....In fact now that I think about it I have had this one for over four years now and I have never had any problem with it....
