A computer graphic tablet is a must if you are an artist that works on digital projects. The reality is that using a mouse to draw and design can be difficult, inaccurate, and annoying to use. A graphic tablet can give you that edge and precision you are looking for when working on a project. So how do you choose the right one?

The first factor you must consider is the size of the tablet. Small tablets are perfect if you have a limited workspace or even want to take it around with you so you can work on your laptop. The smaller tablets are really easy to use and are far cheaper, making it perfect for the aspiring artist. The large tablets are great if you want to work on multiple windows at once and want to create more details for your work.

The second factor that comes into play is the purpose of the computer graphic tablet. Are you planning on using it for designs? If so, remember such projects can be carried out without any problems in programs such as Photoshop. Graphic tablets are better suited for painting, coloring, and editing as these actions require more precision.

The third factor that comes into play is what type of tablet to get. The most common type is one where you use a flat pad along with a digital pen that records your strokes. They pick up the strength of your strokes to as well as all the little details. The second type is one where you use a pen to actually draw on a monitor. Which one you get depends on your preference as well as the type of project.

The fourth factor is the company support. You want to make sure that the company has a solid warranty, offers tech support, and provides updates for their customers. You should take a look at which companies are known for producing great tablets and find out reviews for the various models that they have available.

Finally, you have to consider your budget. The fact of the matter is that you can get a decent tablet for anywhere from $ 100-$ 200. This is perfect for people who are purchasing their first tablet. For seasoned professionals, they may want to go for a computer graphic tablet anywhere in the $ 300-$ 1000 range. It's recommended that you learn the unique features of each graphic if you are spending that kind of money.

So those are the 5 things that you need to look at when thinking about purchasing a computer graphic tablet. There are many different features so you want to think about what your needs are and compare different models before making a buying decision. Again, going online and looking at individual user reviews will help tremendously and make your decision easier.

  3. im thinking of getting a tablet and i have some questions about this..
    Can you rest your hand on it without having a multitouch on (is it pressure sensitive or does it only get the pen)? And also, can you use it with any program (like MS paint and adobe flash) or only the apps it has? Thanks :)
