Ayman

Hey, my sister is a graphic design enthusiast and she asked me today where she can find a Wacom tablet to buy in Lebanon, I did a search and found nothing, if anyone knows any place that sells Wacom tablets or it's price in Lebanon It would be great. And If you are asking yourself, what is a Wacom tablet? well basically it is handy graphic tablet for drawing, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wacom. Thanks very much in advance for your help. :)

if your sister need something professional my cousin bought this about 1-2 years ago: http://www.republicofcode.com/uploaded_images/wacom_cintiq-771814.jpg
if you like it tell me I'll get you more information from her. but what i know she bought it from USA and shipped it to Lebanon and the price is about 2300$ or 3k$ something like that.

Hey thanks guys for the info, actually she is not a professional but a hobbyist and she is still young, so basically the $141 Wacom would be more than enough for a Christmas present :)

You know, you can find much much cheaper tablets that aren't Wacom and are still very good.

Genius tablets are great. (In fact I find the entire Genius hardware line is a good balance between quality and price.)

The tablets are certainly enough for a hobbyist. Some 5 years ago I bought their 3x5 inch tablet for 35$. It's been great and lasted me several years. They now have newer, sexier models.

Also, Aiptek make good tablets. I bought a HUGE 9x12 inches for 100$. It serves me well.

You can find these Taiwanese products much easier than Wacom, too.

If you insist on getting Wacom, you get it from pcandparts.com or visit the Mac shop in Bliss street, Hamra.

Do not decide based on the tablet only. Take a look at the software. Try to find
"art rage" it lets you "paint" using the tablet, the result is very realistic, as if you were painting using a brush/pen/whatever (you can select) only without the mess.

You can also find TRUST tablets, pretty good, I got one from Virgin Megastore for $70, it's a perfect tablet. Genius tablets are good as well, but for professionalism, Wacom tablets are the best.

I have a TRUST tablet, 400-V2. It's adequate for my needs, but I think for a REAL graphic artist, at least the model I have, it's a very bad idea.

Can I ask, the other tablets, the ones cheaper than the Wacom, where can I get those from, PC and Parts? Or several different places?
