My New Toy

Have been wanting to buy a tablet for quite a long time now, WACOM (Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen Set) are the best in line & with that quality will burn a whole in my pocket (no budget).
But just few days ago encounter a tablet for sale, detail of the tablet are below:

Immediately contact the person & got it for BND$65, reason for selling: Upgrade to WACOM, checked E-bay it cost S$160 ++ (not including shipping & tax). NICE!!!!

Open it three times even before I got home hahahaha (inda penyabar)………. All is intact even the battery for the pen is original (Just because I havn’t seen that brand sold here lol)

Great professional look with it’s black shiny finish, light weight & fit into my small laptop bag, it’s a plug & play with window vista but with other OS need installation. Come with insert for window & mac ( I haven’t try to use the built in button on the side).

Get use to it just within 5 mins. Due to the fact that it’s not like a mouse where you can ‘lift & drag’ to position your pointer for a tablet ‘where you point on that tablet area that’s where your pointer will be’ make sense?. Another thing to get use to is when selecting the slider e.g Level in Photoshop, that small triangle slider. Lag occur when you stop to rest & continue , the pointer disappear & need some doodling around with the pen. And another problem sweaty palm, well that’s my problem hahahahaha…… constantly holding the pen.

All in all a great beginners tablet with a professional look. Essential tool for Photo editing.
