My cheapo off-brand tablet finally gave out. Now I can't draw.

/tech/ doesn't know shit, so I guess I'll ask here.

Is this a good deal for a tablet?

If not, why? are the older ones OK, or should I spend the extra cash for a new Intuos 3 or whatever?

That's not a deal persay, but Wacoms never seem to devalue over time, regardless of how outdated they become, because they kick so much ass. So you certainly can't do any worse.

Are the serial tablets worth buying?

for the same price as that shitty old tablet, you can get a new 4x5 wacom graphire 4. it's what I've been using. You could probably get the next size up for as much as that shitty old serial one too.

I kind of want an intuos, though. My shitty off-brand tablet had shitty accuracy and report rate (plus latency in photoshop ETC...) and I didn't want to risk that same experience again.

How is the graphire compared to an intuos? How about that first one I posted? Will a graphire really be good enough for stuff in photoshop for example?

Also, what's so shitty about it being serial?
