hello guys..
I am planing to buy a wacom tablet, though since it is so expansive i am buying it second hand..I have choices between a WACOM INTUOS TABLET 12X18 and a a Wacom Intuos2 9 x 12 Platinum USB Tablet , the platinum one is about 100$ more expansive but it's new...well...
I have a 19 inch screen and I dont know which one is better..is there a diffirence between Wacom Intuos and Intuos2? or is it just the look?
pleeease help me if you have one of these tablets...i really really appreciate!!!

Apparently its just a change in the look. 9*12 is plenty of size btw, you'll struggle for desk space and handling if you get the 12*18, it would be like lugging a large book around. I have a Intuos 9*12 and its almost a tad to big at times. There are some great things about this particluar size though. You can fit and A4 sheet under the plastic overlay for tracing! 9*12 is also in ratio to the screen aspect aswell, so it suits the size of a monitor the best and your movements are represented well onscreen. USB is defintely the way to go aswell. I hope that helps.
