Salam guys, I have been intrigued by Digital Arts for a long time now and I will be taking classes for it. During the summer break, however, I would like to learn some stuff on my own. Please suggest me a graphics tablet that is reliable enough and not so expensive. Under $150 would be good enough.
Thanks

Edit : Which one is bettter? DigiPro WP5540 or VisTablet PenPad

Thanks for the suggestion and Digital Arts as in Photoshop, After Effects and Dreamweaver ( even though word is that Adobe will introduce a new software to take Dreamweaver's place. So they might teach us that, then) Along with sketching and sculpting.^_^

well all these are different field you mentioned you should be focused to something you really feel you are interested in
Digital art is vast field , Aftereffects is other Field which is vast as well , Dreamweaver the web devlopment field is also pretty vast
so you should stick to single thing and work hard on it

My interest in arts started with After Effects, when I used the program, I quickly felt the need to learn Photoshop and learnt that both of these go hand-in-hand. Besides, the school has bundled all of it in the 4 year semester, so...

@XTR3MiST

most tablets from the wacom range are generally great, Babrus Khan uses a Wacom Bamboo which is pretty badass as I hear the new ones come with 1024 levels of pressure.

My preffered weapon of choice is the Wacom Intuos 4 ... 2048 levels of pressure and very very precise ... i bought mine for 21k a year or two ago ...

for pics and details on the one I own, go here http://www.pakgamers.com/forums/f3/amars-intuos4-tablet-unboxing-warning-50997/

i would suggest a Wacom Bamboo anyday, wacom products are a tad expensive but you'll know where the extra money went.

Bamboo Tablets | Wacom Americas
By now 3 other people have suggested me Bamboo on other forums =D. I have seen work done with 1024 pressure levels, 2048 would be very accurate.

Thanks both of you for the suggestion.

    BTW, i started Ghost of Tsushima, and it got me hooked within the first couple of minutes. I already know It's gonna be a memorable experience. This is how you make a proper Samurai game. Not that SJW game Ubisoft is making.

    That's still higher than it's total play length. A 5 hour campaign for a $50 game is downright scammy.

    Consoles were my main platform ever since Atari 2500. But now I think it's not worth it as PC especially with DLSS deliver far smoother performance. AW2 on console didn't even had ray tracing and ran below 30fps. Similar issues plagues DD2 on consoled.
    The cross gen era really made people think 60fps would be a new standard lol

    Welp, done with Hellblade 2. Thoroughly disappointed. Such a nothing burger after the unique experience of the first game.

    I have a PS5 but I am not satisfied with the experience. I am currently saving for a 4080 64 GB rig soon. Bit will wait for Pro if performance improves. This gen has been so bad I don't plan on buying consoles anymore for AAA gaming.

    As per WCCF Tech review, Xbox Series X doesn't even maintain a consistent FPS and sometimes drops into the mid-20fps range. That's unacceptable, tbh.

    Score 1 for game pass. I wouldn't pay full price for this at retail either.

    Just downloaded my first legit digital PC game on GoG at a discount of $8: Two Point Hospital. The same team behind Theme Hospital Two Point Studios now part of Sega. And I am having more fun than most recent AAA games except of course BG3.

    Still, I don't like either Sony or Microsoft as they are focusing more on corporate greed than delighting customers. PC gaming is best of gaming and worth every penny.

    PC Gamer score of 58/100 for Hellblade 2??? Is it really worse than Gollum that was 64/100? Microsoft games can't even come close to high scores of Sony exclusives apparently.

    About the Microsoft (and Sony) debate, I feel both have become too greedy and losing their minds over corporate greed. Personally, I will never buy any console next gen and switch to PC gaming where democracy reins.
