Cheap drawing/pen tablets @ BB

[mrCide]

I never noticed this before. I know Wacom charges quite a bit for their tablets but best buy has these Aiptek models for $89.99 for an 8x6 and 149.99 for 12x9 (half the price of Intuos 6x8 i think..). anyhow, just a heads up. If anyone can find these cheaper feel free to post

512 levels of pressure is the reason they r so much cheaper than Wacoms, If you are serious about drawing stuff on your computer, go for a 1024 level tablet, otherwise, this is indeed a good deal.

Agreed, good for fun home use, but poor for true professionals
my girlfriend went through 5 different pads, wireless and not, with each having
positives and negatives, except the Cross with which she went through
3 in two weeks... that was a complete nightmare... she finally splurged
for the wacom ( 500 for the 12x12 i believe at a B&M) and she has been
nothing but raving about it... more compatible, accurate, better software
and did things she did not even know she wanted a tablet to do

What do the additional layers of sensitivity buy you? Is it like pressing done hard with your pencil or marker? Fatter lines? I am interested in a tablet but loathe to part with 5 bones for a nice Wacom. I'd rather get a halfway decent one for $69.

I can see from the comparison on BestBuy.com that there are differences, but what do they all mean?
