Can any of you peeps help me find a decent drawing tablet?
So, does anyone know anything about drawing tablets? Trying to find one that won’t cost me a fortune and one that won’t break as soon as I plug it in, and of course one that isn’t complete shit. Any help would be appreciated.

I know someone who has some knowledge about some drawing tablets (he's trying to become an animator), I'll ask him about them.
Cool, Thanks
I'll ask him tomorrow since it's a bit late currently.
No problem. I'm in no rush.
You gonna make some heiroglyphs bruh?
I used to use a full model Intuous (the $1000 kind) because it was leftover from my parents office (they both worked in printing/ads/graphic design) eventually- and I mean ten years later- it finally got too old to use and I bought myself a cheap Bamboo tablet for $120. There's definately a difference between the two but the Bamboo is a great starter tablet IMHO.
I got u bruh.
Wacom Intuos.
I've had it for a year now, hasn't broke on me yet. I don't think it's that expensive, I can't remember the price. You can get it in different sizes, also.
I own a Wacom Intuos and it's been really helpful for me to work on my laptop. The one I got was around a hundred bucks and it's been working for a long time so far.
Bamboo Tablet / Wacom Intuos
So, I found this one. It's a Wacom Intuos. would this be a good drawing tablet?

Wacom Intuos tablets are the best tablets. I've had one for 10 years now, still works wonderfully. I would suggest getting a small to a medium sized one if you're just starting out. Probably a small one would be best starting out, and then working you way up to bigger and better tablets.
What are you wanting to do though? I mean are you wanting to do digital painting, or making comics, etc?
Comics and doodle posts on my tumblr and junk. Nothing too serious yet.
Honestly, get a larger tablet in a cheaper line like Bamboo. That drawing space is too small.
You specifically want to look for the CTH 661; it'll run you less with a larger surface area.
what budget?
50s?
100-200?
1000s?
The most I can go is about 200 bucks. I think i might have found one though. What do you think?

i have that tablet
wacom makes quality stuff (altho a bit pricey) as a beginner tablet that one should be ok (that's what i was told when i was looking for info on tablets)
check if that one gives you free software (mine had sketchbook, very solid program, very simple to use, very good for beginning)
It comes with Sketchbook express.
I have the same one although mine was only $70. Mine wasn't the biggest one they had but its a good size nevertheless. I really recommend Wacom Intuos though. Ive had mine a while and I haven't had any problems with it.
iirc the Bamboo line was discontinued and has been replaced with the Intuos (just Intuos, Intuos Pro is a bit different) products at that price/quality range.
is yours only pen with no touch?
It is. But I'm able to get by fine without touch.
