Are they any good? Im dont really want to spend more than £100 on one. Just wondered if there are any good ones for pretty cheap prices.:)

If you get a year's solid use out of that setup, you'd have to consider £90 a pretty small investment.

It all depends on who made it. Bob's Christmas Cracker Drawing Pads, for example, I'd pass on, but Logitech an up, it can't be all that bad.

Yeah who makes it? Wacoms are considered to be the best for price... my wacom was £89 and is still going strong almost 2 years down the line :)

Wacom all the way... but you may wanna check out one of the millions of tablet questions in the A+A forum... i think we wrote a book on em in there...

I've seen that one in the stores... Aitech or Aiptech or something...

it's ok. but the Wacom tablets are sturdier built.

Wacom Intuos2 12" X 12"

Me like it alot!

What can u do with a tablet? I just bought one havent used much. Find it kinda hard to control at times..

if you are interested in purchasing p2p,i have an unused Wacom Intuos2 6x8 tablet in original retail packaging that i am willing to part with. Send me an email if you are interested. You can get some more info here.

Seeing as you are in UK, did you consider in going to Maplin Eletronics? I remember seeing a cordless pen and mouse for something like £60 -- don't remember the make but I do remember it was greenish colour.... :)
