Most tablets out there, the good ones, go for well over $200. VisTablet's vTen pad is cheaper than most, and you get more for your money. Compared to most other offname brands out there, VisTablet does an excellent job with their products, making them durable enough for travel.

It's only 6x4.5, but for screens under 19'', unless you're looking for more precision v.s. screen size, that's all you'll need. I love this tablet, and it works really well for the digital art that I like to do.

Of course, the software needed for actual creation of art work is more expensive than the tablet if you buy the professional versions, but there are some free alternatives for certain products.

VisTablet does a good job with the vTen pad, and it could be a lot more expensive for all you get with it. The pen that comes with if feels a bit cheap, but getting a differently designed pen is simple enough, and not very expensive.

Well worth the price I paid for it, and while it's not a "professional" tablet, you could probably get similar results if you know what you are doing.

I wouldn't recommend shoving this in a backpack though, it flops like a mouse pad, and needs a hard surface if you don't want to screw up. Shove it in a backpack without stowing it right and you could ruin it. (I haven't actually done that though, I don't want to have to pay for another if I don't have to.) However, if I did break this one, I would buy another one.

Also, the pen is cheap feeling, and breaks easily. You might want to replace it with the pen from the original Tablet from Vistablet.

People might tend to dismiss this tablet for drawing ditially or other uses because it is not a big brand name, but surprisingly enough it does work and very well.

It is flexible, and easily portable. It comes with its USB cable, pen and a digital drawing software that also works well for photos called Artweaver. It is basically a Photoshop 7 clone program that is quite good, and does allow to create almost any image you want, is more user friendly to the general public than Photoshop, has lots of filters, and you can download updates. The disk includes other software titles for those interested in creating documents using their own hadwritting.

The pen is not heavy, easy to write and handle, it comes with a AAA battery, which dosen't lasts too long so I'd recommend using alkaline batteries.
Overall is a very nice product that does what it promises without high price tags and without much complication installing.
Highly recommended.

VisTablet PenPad Graphics Tablet 80-914W04090-000v1.0 (Black) is well made and my Children love it. I bought two of these tablets for my children to used to draw Anime. The tablet is easy to use and you can used it with your MS Paint and it comes with a disk so you can choose what software to download. The drawing pen comes with a battery in the packaging and the battery is easy to install. You will need to install the software first, then, set the tablet and pen settings to your preferred sensitivity settings.
