I like tacos

Hey fellas, I'm looking into buying a graphics tablet for general use and digital art. Can somebody with experience on this topic give me some recommendations? I've looked at a few but I feel like I don't have the knowledge to make an informed decision, having not owned a tablet before. My price range is about 150 bucks. Can you get a quality product for that much or should I be aiming higher?

What size screen are you looking for?

I don't really have any knowledge on tablets, but last Christmas I bought the Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen & Touch. I'm pretty happy with it. I'm no professional artist, but I've always thought it was pretty good for the money when I use it to draw stuff.

Something 6x8 or larger. Customizable buttons are not a must.

Well it depends on a few things, like what you need it for and your budget.

At home I use a Wacom Intuos Medium and it has been awesome. My tablet is wired and I think this new one is wireless.

For on the move I use the one-model-back version of the Bamboo and it does a really great job too.

Oh you have a budget.... $150. That won't get you a 6x8 tablet, but the Bamboo tablet is a perfect budget tablet. It's got good sensitivity and does most of the things a Intuos does but with a small tablet area.
