if you arent sure you want to invest in a big expensive tablet because you aren't sure you will even end up using it a whole lot, I hiiighly recomment the Bamboo. I got mine for 70$ and it is a good deal better than the old graphire series. I will likely get smacked by the person who helped me procure an Intuos, but I still haven't even opened up my intuos because this lil Bamboo gets the job done x).
