Where To Look For A Good Deal On Wacom Writing Tablets

I took this neat image of a star (it was on the mantel at home) put textures on it in the layers editing software and realized I couldn't write using the pad on my laptop and needed a writing tablet to implement my plan for an inspirational text "Everyone's A Star In Their Own Unique Way." I asked in my forum discussions what was the best tablet to buy. The answer I got was medium size and Wacom Intuos 5 Touch Medium. From what I have read about Wacom products is they wear like iron and are very reliable. Unless you make a wide swiping movement with your arm and shoulder like painting big canvases you probably won't need a large sized tablet.

I went on the internet and found a great deal at Amazon.com. They still sell the Bamboo Create tablet, new (it has been replaced by Intuo Pro Medium) included in the package is Photoshop Elements, Nik Color, Efex Pro, Corel Lite all for $199. The Intuo 5 Touch Medium is listed for $320. They also listed a refurbished Bamboo Create with all the same software for $116. Everything I have heard about refurbished electronics is that it is as good as new except sometimes a small scratch that is not noticeable and in the scheme of things are going to get scratched anyway.

I am very excited about my new writing tablet and look forward to not only writing script but drawing and painting. A whole new world is opening up!
