The Cheapest Graphic Tablets

Inexpensive graphic tablets prices and reviews

No shame in wanting to save money! I've had cheap graphic tablets in the past mostly because I was a student and didn't have the option to buy the more expensive tablets. I have not tested these tablets (expect for the Wacom Bamboo Touch) and cannot vouch for them. I did research and read many reviews though. I am only listing the tablets with a 3 star rating or higher. Keep in mind that a cheaper tablet usually means smaller drawing space, less pressure sensitivity and features (not in all cases though). Not a big deal if this is your first tablet and/ or you don't need a bigger, fancier tablet. In my cheap tablet list, I include the tablets priced at $40 or less. The prices listed are what they were at the time I wrote this. They will more than likely change over time and I'll do my best to update them.
