Hey guys. I would like some advice on which graphical tablet to purchase, for high detailed drawings useing fine tip pens. It would really be appreciated if i could get a list of best performing tablets from all three price ranges: poor, medium, rich. Considering i am a student of 17 years, i would like to invest in this kind of object.
Thanks

I'm not a graphic designer myself so I couldnt tell ya for sure but WACOM tablets seem to be the best as far as I can see.

Yeah, Wacom is the leader in tablets, and they come in many price ranges. Prices depend not only on the quality as denoted by the three main lines, but by the size of the tablet as well. Their top line models double as a 15" or 17" display as well. You'll probably be looking at the Intuos3 line, which is their pro model, in a 6x8 size.
