Does the job perfectly
I've just got myself one of these graphics tablets after having been wanting one for quite a while. I actually got mine for £24 from ASDA which is quite a lot cheaper than amazon.

Once I got it out of the box I was very suprised by how slim and lightweight it was. So, first impressions are good. After having set it up it wasn't long before I was teaching it to recognise my handwriting and doing some photo editing. As graphics tablets go it's pretty responsive to the pen pressure and in no time I was using it with Adobe Photoshop elements 6 editing photos with ease.

I have it running with Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) and it works very well. I am struggling to find faults with it. For the money and what it can do it's better than a vast majority of more expensive graphics tablets out there. What I also like about it is the hot keys around the writing surface which are so useful for navigating your computer without touching the mouse or mouse-pad. Another plus is that is doesn't slow your system down at all.

It connects to the PC or laptop with USB 2.0 and the pen runs on a single AAA battery. For the pen I would recommend getting a rechargeable battery as it's more economical. I honestly can't praise this excellent piece of kit any more.

Highly recommended!

Trust Graphics Tablet TB5300 - an excellent buy
Trust Slimline Design Tablet TB-5300 This is the first graphics tablet I have bought or even used, but I have found it just the job for the task I needed help with, which is cutting items out of images and general Photoshop/Paintshop Pro drawing and editing tasks for my hobby as a painter. This model has a relatively small work area, but in fact that has not proved a problem at all, because you can enlarge work on the PC screen and use the tablet for a small area of the whole, which is how you would work anyway. Much more accurate than a mouse for drawing - the pen is easy to use, and by some electronic miracle the tablet knows exactly where it is even when there is no contact whatever. The tablet and pen are easy to programme to your preferred settings, and versatile. I still use a mouse for general PC activity, finding that the pen is not so easy to use for general clicking - it moves too easily, whereas the mouse stays in one place unless pushed! But this tablet has proved a very valuable addition to my peripheral hardware.

Excellent
I wasn't really expecting this tablet to be great because of the price, but it's been brilliant! It's a nice size and has lots of shortcuts on the tablet itself which is very handy. One thing I will say is, it does feel a bit flimsy as it's quite thin and light and I managed to accidentally dent the surface (though to its credit, it still works fine...!). Other than that it's been perfect for what I needed.
