Spec me a "Pen tablet"

Right then, it's the other halfs birthday next month, and I know one of the things she wants is one of these "Pen tablet" things.

Her job is a Graphics Designer and at work she has all the tools she needs, but at home when she is doing her freelance stuff she is lacking on some things so wants one of these.

Now I have no idea what is good and what is not, I'm not even sure if this is the correct section, but it will be used on her macbook pro so needs to work perfectly with that.

Would something like this http://store.apple.com/uk/product/H...d=p219|GOUK&cid=AOS-UK-KWG-GO_UK_Product-Feed be good enough? Or should I be looking at something else?

Absolute max budget for this is say £80 as would like to get her some other bits too.

Cheers

One of the Wacom Bamboo would do nicely.

So if she slaps me I can blame you?

Cheers I shall go for that one then

The Virtuoso is a better range but also way out of your budget, it is the one I have and get a medium size if you can.

The Bamboo should do nicely though.

I'm no expect on these but have heard quite good things about the Wacom Bamboo range

I have a tablet from the wacom bamboo range too.. I got it 2nd hand and cheap and that's the only reason why I have one. Does the business everytime I used it, software for them is very good. But I'm no way an expert user of tablets.
