I'm buying a Tablet

A Toshiba Tecra M7 to be specific
I found one for 330 dollars, and I'm going to go pick it up later today.

This is it
Anyone else have a tablet, or know where to find a cheap one?
Speak now or forever hold your peace

We had them at primary school. I accidentally broke the screen off (I never owned up!) so be careful with it!  tongue

Re: I'm buying a Tablet

My dad used to have one of them for his work.

The math teachers are requesting them again where he works.

Yeah, if you use them with a projector, they're great for maths

Re: I'm buying a Tablet

Ugh, I'm so jealous.


I've always wanted a PC tablet.

Mine really sucks and I can't do anything on it. It's coordinates get messed up sometimes, it's small, and scribbled on

Congrats.
I suck at drawing stuff anyway, so I'm not getting one anytime soon.

Re: I'm buying a Tablet

Why are you getting one anyways


I mean that'd take me 3 years to get enough money to even start thinking about buying one.


Well idk but I'd have to work for it, that's for sure.

Nice. I prefer a keyboard and mouse myself, but that is pretty cool. You should install linux on it.

Re: I'm buying a Tablet

Tablet's with screens like that generally function like a computer too don't they?

Well that pretty much rules any hope out. I guess I'll be stuck using this tiny Bamboo fun until it breaks down.

Re: I'm buying a Tablet

That's a pretty tablet (compared to mine, at least  tongue ). I use a Trust TB-6300 currently, although I'm saving up for a better one (it cost about £30-40 when I bought it last year, so it was very cheap, and quite poor quality. Although it's still OK for drawing... the pen's a little bit broken (from dropping it more times than I can remember), but it's OK  big_smile ). I bought it from Argos after Christmas, last December.

I really like the Wacom Cintiq... which is an awesome tablet (I used one that was on display in a digital arts shop ^^ I think that just about everything on it was amazing). Unfortunately, it's about £900 to £1600, depending on which version, so I'll probably never be able to buy it... ah well, it's a nice dream to have  big_smile

I might buy the Wacom Bamboo Fun, because it's the only Bamboo that has a large enough work surface, in my opinion - it costs between £150-£170, from what I can see. Or, I might save up longer, and get a Wacom Intuos4 Medium tablet, which is £300-360, depending on whether it's wireless or not... I've used the Intuos - it's quite good, so I'm leaning towards waiting a while longer.

Re: I'm buying a Tablet

I use a Wacom Graphire4 CTE-440. It isn't anything special and is small, but it is cool  looking (better than Wolfie's TB-6300, at least  smile  ) and cheap ($149). It also has a cool looking blue and green status light, that's always a plus.  big_smile

Re: I'm buying a Tablet

Yeah, I guess
Anyway, I'll have to wait a little while to get it; the store ran out of stock, and it'll take a few weeks to order more
