Pffft... Wacom. "Trust Slimline"s are cheap, and in my opinion, they're better than Wacom (my brother uses a Wacom Bamboo, I use a Trust Slimline - I tried his tablet - it feels of a lower quality, and his tablet work area is smaller).

Trust tablets are also prettier than Wacom tablets. Wacoms look clunky to me, but Trust tablets look very tidy.

And my "Trust" is A5 size - it cost me approximately $50 USD, whereas a Wacom of the same size is like... $300?

I'm not sure if you can buy Trust tablets in the USA, though...

I found one on newegg.com for 43$ is that a good deal?

I trust Wacom because of their high customer satisfaction as well as my own satisfaction. My Wacom Bamboo tablet hasn't malfunctioned once or given me any trouble at all. It was about $70-100.

I have a Trust Slimline. It works the best.

I looked up reviews. They said Trust tablets are bad news.....

Mine works fine... and I drop it a lot...

I assume the reviews that you've been reading are looking at Trust tablets as tools in the design industry... they get used far more intensely than a tablet that's just going to be used for hobby-drawing (I assume that EmperorEvil is going to use the tablet for generally drawing, instead of becoming an architect...).

I personally don't see why anyone would want a state-of-the-art tablet for that, when there isn't much difference in quality...    What has Wacom got that Trust hasn't?

Sorry I didn’t post this earlier... My internet timed out, so I’m typing this in Word... >.>

MMkay    I’ll list what my tablet has (I think you mean the tablet... unless you want me to Wiki who founded Trust or something  )
The stuff that’s on the box/the manual/the website:
•    Tablet included (ZOMG NOWAI)
•    Wireless, 3 button pen
•    Wireless, 3 button mouse
•    8x6 inch work area
•    2000 lines per inch
•    512 step pressure
•    USB connection
•    Compatible with Windows XP and higher (not sure about Mac... there is a version for the Mac, though)
•    On Windows Vista and higher, supports handwriting recognition (One reason that I want to upgrade from my Windows XP)
•    Allows for widescreen/dual screen PCs (I have neither, but it still works great  )
•    42 programmable buttons (you can set them up to open up different programs, or to Copy/Paste/Save/Print/Undo/etc)
•    Trace Sheet (I don’t use it, but it’s nice to have for copying real life sketches onto the computer)


Other stuff that’s not on the box, but is still important to me:
•    The pens feel waaaaaay more solid than Wacom pens. Wacom pens feel really... cheap to me.
•    It’s cheap as chips     They’re only about... £40 tops (also, CHIIIIIIPSSSSS!  )
•    They’re easy to get (When you live in the English countryside, shops specialising in computing are few and far between. Trust tablets can be bought in supermarkets, which means I could get one far more easily)
•    It’s all you really need for hobby drawing, and the results can be very good, with practice.
