Hi,

I've been hearing a lot about how great the intuos 4 is.

Before reading, note that this is all in new zealand currency, and as a result, the computer prices I'm listing will seem extremely high, because we get screwed by bad currency.

I'm about to start my course (tomorrow actually) and was considering getting one by putting the money on top of my student loan. I have $1000 available that can be put on my loan. I will be getting a $250 external HDD, and have the rest available to me.

I was thinking about getting a small intuos 4, the medium is just far far too expensive. I use a small 4x6 graphire... 2? I think it is. My current tablet crashes digicel flipbook so I can't use that for planning animation.

Is it worth buying the intuos 4 small for $360-385 for, particularly, texturing?

Hi i was thinking about getting one as well but it seems quite a few people are having problems with the nibs wearing down after a couple of days,I don't know if anybody on here could add to this but it seems pretty poor for a £300+ tablet

There's a 30 page thread on http://forum.wacom.eu/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=1438 one of the suggestion from wacom is to tape some paper to the tablet:rolleyes:

Thanks..
