>>12275062Wacom is all but the only relevant brand.
So you have Intuous and Cintiq.
Cintiq are the ones where you draw directly on a glass display.
I have a 13HD, it's the cheapest cintiq but that's because it's also small-ish, since it's 1080p on a relatively small monitor. So in ms-paint it's gonna be awkward since you can't zoom smoothly.
Price: high
Intuous is the one that looks like a mousepad and you draw your pen on that to move the mouse on your monitor. Price determines the size of the pad, pretty much.
Advantage is its size, while a small is still a bit small-ish, doesn't matter as much as with a cintiq since visual scale isn't an issue. Also the small one is real cheap. I started with the previous generation (bamboo)'s smallest and it was fine except for the hand-screen desync.
>>12275146>direct drawing surfaceCintiq then.
13HD is cheapest and quality-wize is fantastic. Only problem is the screen size gives scale issues, so i have to zoom more agressively than you would have to with a larger Cintiq.
All cintiqs also come in a touch variant, meaning it allows finger touch as well as pen touch, which is a waste of money imo.
