Just wondering which brand is best, or what things I should look out for? Want to use it for art - photo editing, digital drawings and also to write documents.. a cheap one would be preferred, from a UK stockist. Thanks!

I have a Wacom tablet, and I loooove it. I have a large one, but they do sell smaller ones that are cheaper, too.

Agreed, Wacom is the best. I love mine. It's lasted years and years and never broke! My parents bought me a new one for Christmas, but I gave my old one to a friend since it still works perfect.

They come in all sizes and really do last forever. I promise it's worth it. ;)

I'd love a Wacom one but they all seem expensive apart from the one that is only used by your hands (I think) - I'll try to get some money to invest, really want one now!

I'm using Wacom Cintiq now. I'd say it's the best thing i've ever had since last year. Wacom Bamboo Series is good too.

I have a Wacom Intous 4 xl, its freaking awesome, but the nibs wear out really fast! I wouldn't recommend it if you're on a budget, Id go for a Bamboo, they're excellent.

I have a Wacom Bamboo, it was a birthday present and cost $100. oh so very affordable! I used it for my graphic design assignment and did very well. The outcome of it was fabulous. I definitely agree, Wacom all the way.
