[QUOTE="Abrodzinski, post: 183994"] I have the 4x5" graphire 3 tablet, bought it for 90 bucks at circuit city. At first it was kind of awkward...but after using it for 30 min. I loved it! not to mention working for 8 hours with a mouse makes your index finger hurt....no pain with the tablet. I do wish I had a bigger tablet now that I am doing graphics on a regular basis (Graphics design student). The little 4x5 tablet is ok to start with but the bigger ones are less squirley than a 4x5...easier freehand selections, plus the intos3 has a better resolution and increased sensitivity, tilt control and those side buttons come in handy. You can also reduce the movement that you need to move the pen around with the tools, even limit it to a specific program, so for example when I am browsing online I have mine set to about 2x3" or so. The bigger tablets dont bother me for photoshop, its kind of like sketching on a small illustrationboard. (However to be fair I have only used the bigger tablets for 10-15 min.) I would buy the largest you can afford and if you need to downsize the sketch area to improve comfort, do so, but if you need more area its only a click away. [/QUOTE]
