QuoteWacom Intuos3 A5 Tablet

With an active area of 203 x 152 mm, the Intuos3 A5 fits easily on your desktop or in your briefcase - this makes this size the perfect companion for users of notebook computers. The ultimate size for people whose ideas are bigger than their workplaces.

As all Intuos3 pen tablets, the Intuos3 A5 comes with the Intuos3 Grip Pen (including the Stroke and Felt Pen nib), the 5-button Intuos3 Mouse and the ExpressKeys as well as the Touch Strip.

what a wacom graphics tablet? limits? lol

for 3d, photoshop and other stuff which relies on point to point accuracy (say drawing a curve) they are fantastic.

obviously you cant use them for gaming.

His is a Acer I think, he does a lot of graphics work and it works very well once you have the hang of it and a steady hand :)

As I said, limits ;)

There was a version of missile defence that was brilliant using the tablet though, so not a complete disaster even there :)

At work we use a lot of interactive whiteboads, and we got a demo of an activepanel, its sort of a TFT & graphics tablet in one, worked quite well just cost rather a lot, around Ã,£1500.  But being able to see what your drawing under your pen rather than having to look at your monitor might be rather good for some.
