new tablet

the 5 years old wacom graphire 3 tablet in office jus went kaput, and i had the honour of getting another one. head to funan during lunch time and bought a wacom bamboo tablet @ $174.

it’s sleek, very professional looking and surprisingly very easy to use. the tablet itself has several functions, 4 customisable buttons to launch your fav apps or perform keystrokes/clicks etc, a widescreen area for widescreen monitors (seriously who still uses good old 4:3 crt monitors?) that accepts pen input as well as finger touch! how cool is that?! similar to iphone-like touch gestures, you can click, drag, rotate, scale, move forward-back, pinch-zoom practically anywhere in windows!

the other accessory that came with it is the pen. compared to the graphire pen which is super light and easily flung around if you like to fiddle with pens; the bamboo pen feels like a real pen. solid feel, good grip and again it has 2 buttons customisable to do whatever you want and an eraser end. functionality is the same with graphire pens, except that the nibs can be changed if spoilt.

damn, i feel like getting one for my home desktop as well!
