Electronics : Trust Slimline Design Tablet TB-5300

Rating: - 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!
