Hey guys! My birthday is coming up in July, and I'm going to ask my parents for a tablet. The problem is: I don't really know much about tablets. Those of you who own tablets and know your way around them, what should I get? I was thinking about a Wacom Intuos4, but they're really expensive. If it's worth it, that's fine. But if Bamboo product is a good choice for artists as well, then I'd definitely rather buy that.

My biggest fear with the Wacom Intuos4 tablet is that it will have all this stuff that I won't use and that it will end up being a waste of a good product and a waste of money.

My biggest fear with a Bamboo product is that it won't work well for doing artwork on the computer.

Also, should I get a medium or a small? Is small too small or does the size even matter that much?

Any input that you can give me would be great! Thanks for reading!
